Zell am See is a rare combination — a warm swimming lake at 750 m with a glacier ski area above it at Kaprun, so the resort works in both directions of the calendar. The Schmittenhöhe cable car climbs straight out of town, the Grossglockner High Alpine Road opens from May with 36 hairpins to 2,504 m, and the Krimml Waterfalls, the highest in Austria, are 45 minutes west. The town has a long-standing Gulf Arab summer clientele drawn by the green mountains.
