Der Schmittenhof und Nebenhaus  

Perched above Zell am See—about 2 km from the town centre with a public bus stop right outside—this mountain-side hotel looks out to Schmittenhöhe and the lake. It’s steps from the trassXpress gondola, Schmittenhöhebahn and Sonnenalmbahn cable cars, making it a prime base for skiing, mountain biking, cycling and Nordic walking.

Rooms lean luxury and romance with lake- and mountain-view options, and several units offer balconies or terraces. Expect cosy extras in selected rooms: TV, coffee/tea maker, fridge, bathrobes, hair dryer and toiletries. The hotel keeps kit fresh with a dedicated drying room for walking shoes, bike gear and golf equipment, plus an elevator for easy access.

A full spa-and-wellness set-up thrills the senses: sauna, steam room, rainforest showers and even an ice cave, along with massage, solarium and a hot-tub area. Après-action options include an in-house bar and a restaurant, and winter services cover ski-to-door access, ski transfers, rental facilities and ski-pass assistance. Free on-site parking and tour desk services round out practical comforts—wake up to lake-and-mountain mornings and head straight for the slopes.

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Practical extras include pre-bookable airport transfer, shuttle and car-hire options, luggage storage and safety deposit boxes—handy for work-and-play stays.

An on-site restaurant serves morning breakfasts and comforting meals, while the bar keeps evenings lively with drinks and après-ski vibes. Start the day with freshly brewed coffee on the premises.
