HIKING PARADISE SCHMITTEN

A sensational hiking area for the whole family awaits you on Zell am See's local mountain. The paths are beautiful and easy to walk, you can fully concentrate on the view. Stroll along the Höhenpromenade or take a whole day's time at the Pinzgauer Spaziergang. Or enjoy your time on the Schmittenhöhe and take a lap on the Sisi circular hiking trail.

VIEWPOINTS

Beautiful nature as far as the eye can see - basically the view from Zell's local mountain is fantastic everywhere! Nevertheless there are some places where the view is even more beautiful, impressive and imposing. Here are the top 3:

  • Schmittenhöhe: From the top station you can enjoy a breathtaking view of more than 30 three-thousand metre peaks.
  • Plettsaukopf: The lake for families is one of three storage lakes on the Schmitten and always worth a photo. It can be reached both in summer and winter, and there are guided hikes to the impressive vantage point in both seasons. 
  • Salersbachköpfl: The Salersbachköpfl (1,920 metres) on the high promenade between the Hochzeller Alm and Sonnkogel is also a must for great holiday pictures.

HIKING WITH CHILDREN

 

Various family-friendly and partly even pram-friendly theme trails. Easy and leisurely hikes and mountain tours. Various adventure and adventure stations. On the Schmitten, you and your children collect valuable holiday memories on every hike. Curiosity, the spirit of discovery and fun in the fresh air are always at the centre of attention. 

And let's face it: a summer holiday with satisfied children is the real summit victory. Don't you agree? 

ADVENTURE HIKE FOR FAMILIES IN ZELL AM SEE

The Höhenpromenade adventure trail is much more than a leisurely hike with a breathtaking mountain panorama. Among other things, this is ensured by so-called "Viscopes", special observation telescopes that display the names of the peaks you spot when you look through them. In addition, several theme boards along the way provide all kinds of interesting information about the rich flora and fauna on the Schmitten. Various viewing platforms and play stations guarantee fun and entertainment for the whole family.
