Rent a complete ski package in Zell am See: skis, boots, and poles. The most cost-effective way to get all the gear you need for a ski holiday.
Zell am See pairs lakeside charm with glacier skiing on the Kitzsteinhorn.
Zell am See itself only reaches 2,000m, so most advanced skiing happens on the nearby Kitzsteinhorn glacier (3,029m) — a 15-minute bus ride from the village. The Schmittenhöhe funicular gives fast access to the main ski area above the lake, with wide, confidence-building red runs.
Renting ski equipment in Zell am See is the smart choice for most visitors. Luggage costs for ski gear can exceed the price of a week-long rental, and local shops offer complete ski package perfectly tuned for Zell am See's terrain — all levels level, 130 km of pistes at up to 1965m.
The lake itself freezes most winters, and the town uses it for cross-country skiing, ice hockey, and the annual Lake Ice Golf Cup — a nine-hole course laid out on the frozen surface in late January.
Typical daily complete ski package in Zell am See costs €22–€44. Booking a full week package usually saves 15–25% compared to daily rates.
Buy the Alpin Card combo pass — it covers Zell am See, Kitzsteinhorn, and Saalbach-Hinterglemm on one ticket, giving access to 408 km of pistes for roughly the same price as a Saalbach-only pass.
