Summer Holiday
Holidays in Summer
Summer in our region is a true paradise for nature lovers. In the immediate vicinity of Zell am See, you will find wonderful hiking trails and bike routes that lead through a diverse range of plant life.
You can make your summer holiday with us as varied as you wish, with many activities such as climbing, tennis, summer tobogganing (e.g., with the Saalfelden-Biberg summer toboggan run or the Maisiflitzer in Kaprun), horseback riding, golfing, and much more.
Plenty of activity on a hot summer day makes you crave water. You’ll find a refreshing dip in one of the nearby outdoor pools or, of course, in Lake Zell. With an average summer temperature of 21-24°C, it’s not only ideal for swimming: kayaking, surfing, sailing, boating, and fishing are other highlights to experience there.
Would you like even more? For the especially adventurous, canyoning or rafting trips on the Salzach or Saalach rivers might be just the thing. With well-trained guides, you’ll race through the cool waters in no time.
If the elements of earth and water still aren't enough for you, you can take to the skies and go paragliding to enjoy the stunning landscape from a bird's eye view.
Hiking
