Zell Am See
by Paul McMenamin

With its multitude of options—groomed trails, World Cup downhills, off-track runs, and glaciers—Zell Am See offers the complete Alps ski experience. Most of the best runs are accessed via the Schmittenhohe lifts. There is an outstanding network of intermediate trails, but experts can challenge themselves on the World Cup runs and a superb run down from the Kapellenlift summit. Nearby Kaprun, located 10 kilometers from Zell Am See, is famous for its high-altitude glacier skiing. Reach the Alpin Center via a cable car, or the Stanseilbahn tunnel route. Ski from there, or those with strong legs can go all the way to the 10,000-foot top station via aerial tram.

Where: 56 miles from the city of Salzburg and 120 miles away from Munich's gateway airport. Best way to travel is by rail.

* Resort expense has been estimated by rating the cost of a daily lift ticket during the prime, non-holiday season ( $60 or less;
$60-75; $75 or more ), this basis also offers some insight to approximate lodging and dining costs, but transportation (airfare, car rental/shuttle, etc.) has not been factored into account.
