Skiing somewhere else this trip? The Zell am See–Kaprun area has eight other ski resorts besides Schmittenhöhe.
The Schmittenhöhe is Zell am See's home mountain, rising straight off the lake with cable cars running up from the edge of town. The views down over the water and across to the Hohe Tauern are the reason people keep coming back to this one.

About 13 km, roughly 16 minutes along the lake road into Zell am See. It is the closest of the large ski areas, which makes it the easy choice for a half day.
Around 130 marked runs totalling about 59 km, between 758 m and 1,963 m, served by roughly 27 lifts including two cable cars. The split is 27 km easy, 21 km intermediate and 10 km advanced.
Yes for early progression — eight novice runs and 27 km of easy piste, with lifts running from the edge of town so you are not committed to a full day. Advanced skiers will work through the 10 km of harder terrain fairly quickly.
Intersport and Bründl Sports sit close to the valley stations in Zell am See, with Europ Sport, Sport 2000 and Sport Achleitner a little further round. All are pinned on the map above.
