Is a 20 minute drive from Salzburg but it is worth it on a nice day. We got a great view overlooking Salzburg and the snow capped mountains around.

Great way to spend a few hours of a trip to Salzburg. Particularly at this time of year when there's plenty of snow at the top (but none in town). On a clear day, such as we had, the views were great and it's really nice in the sunny weather. Cable car up is pricey (EUR25 return), but it is free with a Salzburg Card (one of its many many benefits). Easy to reach from the town centre by bus. One of the bus routes (route 25) also goes via Hellbrunn and Salzburg Zoo, so it is very easy to combine all 3 into an excellent day trip (as we did).

The Kitzsteinhorn is legendary: it`s not just a glacier – it`s THE glacier. Salzburg`s highest ski area offers an unparalleleld Alpine experience 365 days a year. It`s here that the winter season begins. Starting in autumn, you`ll already find the perfect snow for a perfect winter sports experience. Whether you`re racing down pristine white slopes or the spectacular off-piste ski routes or on your board in the snowparks, the variety of choices you`ll find is unmatched.

The Kitzsteinhorn cable car is a scenic 'must do' for anyone visiting Salzburgerland province of Austria. Located about 20 minutes from Kaprun, the cable car gives visitors an awe-inspiring trip to "Top of Salzburg at 3,029 metres" in three distinct legs - a gondola, then chairlift, finally a cable car. The views and scenery change throughout the journey, and you get to appreciate the truly amazing geography that has formed the Alps. The Gipfelwelt exhibition is located in a tunnel bored through the summit of the mountain, and it is an interesting display about the formation and geology of the Hohe Tauern mountains and glaciers. Caution here...at this altitude the air is thin and walking back up through the tunnel can suddenly leave you totally out of breath. The lifts are modern, competently operated and you feel completely safe as you're whisked up over cliffs, ravines, snowfields and people and animals passing by underneath.

Easily one of the best outdoor activities I have ever done! I have never skied or done any winter sports, but sledding is really easy to pick up quickly. I rented a sled and helmet from Intersport (which is right at the base of the lift). The ticket was 32 euros for a day ticket (including the lift up), and we did 4 runs at about 40 minutes each, so it was great value! There is a restaurant at the top and halfway down, where you can stop and eat - the gulaschsuppe halfway down was only 6 euros and was really filling and delicious. My legs got pretty battered and wet, even through ski trousers, so definitely wear a couple of layers, and good waterproof & solid boots. I'd recommend sledding here to anyone!

The Schmitten in Zell am See provides numerous offers on the mountain as well as on Lake Zell. Both in summer and wintertime the focus is family, panorama, sports, enjoyment & art.

Steep in parts but don’t be put off. Great regional views at the upper forest breakout near sheer cliffs. If icy/snowy use ice overshoes. Allow maybe 3 hours!
