Had the pleasure of attending Mass recently in this beautiful church and was very impressed by the wonderful choir! The priest was very welcoming to non-German speakers addressing us in very good English at the end of Mass!

In the centre of Zell am See directly at the lake there is a light show 3 times a week in the evening during the months May until October. Between 1 and 5 PM you can see a short introduction about what awaits you during the shows. They have different themes every day: Tuesday it is "Happiness", Thursday "One Hit Wonders" and Sunday "Majestic Waters". Water, lights and videos offer some beautiful entertainment. Entrance is free. A show to enjoy with the whole family.

As a non skier I’m always looking for different things to do. My mid week early afternoon visit here was lovely, again, I’d been here 5 years ago too. It was spotless then and I expected some wear and tear, but no, it was spotless again. It’s a public pool and sauna so it a bargain price compared with any of the hotel spas for just as good, if not better facilities. There’s really nice stainless steel pool, 20-25m long and a good for length swimming. There were only 2 of us in the pool so it was swimming bliss. Nice jets in the shallow end too to massage any aching joints and muscles. For 22 Euros you get access to the sauna area too which is again spotless. 2 of the usual Finnish saunas at different temperatures, a steam room, cold for spa, infra red room and the log cabin sauna outside with relaxing benches in the fresh air. Sounds odd to want to be outside in March, but you’ll need it after the log cabin sauna! There some sort of routine of towel wafting to hike up the temperature that goes on in there and it’s obviously not the done thing to exit midway through a session - just leave it to the locals, they know what they are doing, just sit back and enjoy. Yes it’s naked, which to us Brits still seems odd, but just go with it, the locals are all oblivious to it. The bus stop for the 680 is just outside, so easy access for the Saalbach valley of resorts too.
