Lake See is one of the most beautiful swimming lakes in the Salzburg region and has outstanding water quality. With a length of 3.8 km and a breadth of 1.5 km, the crystal-clear lake lies in the Zell basin, surrounded by Austria’s mightiest 3,000 m peaks. Lake Zell can be reached in just 2 minutes on foot from the 5-star superior Hotel Salzburgerhof. Magnificent natural bathing beaches guarantee refreshing relaxation on your holiday in Zell am See.

Blue waves, white sails and a stiff breeze: people have always been fascinated by gliding over water powered only by the wind. Lake Zell is an ideal place to learn and perfect the maritime craft, and it’s no coincidence that the 'cradle of top-class sport' in Zell am See-Kaprun is home to sailing giants such as Olympic champion Hans-Peter Steinacher. You can take the internationally recognised sailing licence in the local sailing schools.

You can enjoy romantic walks along the lake promenade and take the opportunity to completely circumnavigate Lake Zell with views of azure water and the highest mountains in Austria. If you are looking for variety, you will find it with mini golf and ice cream, in the beach café or while relaxing in the sun on the sunbathing lawns on a holiday by the lake in Austria. Lingering in stylish restaurants, cafés and bistros is a special pleasure here.

When the sun sets over Zell am See in May, June, July, August, September and October, the music pavilion in the Elisabeth Park forms the atmospheric backdrop for the “Lake Zell Magic” light, music and laser show.  For around twenty minutes you will be transported to distant worlds and enjoy a fascinating spectacle with the focus on "Experience" (Tuesdays), "Happiness" (Thursdays) and "Classic" (Sundays).
