Zell am See in Austria

Yesterday we took the train from Salzburg the 90-minutes to the ski resort town of Zell am See (Zell on the Lake).

We also took the Schmittenhöhebahn – the single car cable car, up 2,000 metres onto the Schmittenhöhe mountain, offering breathtaking views of the peaks of the Hohe Tauern mountain range in the Eastern Alps.

Once up on the summit, there are plenty of skiing opportunities for those who are that way inclined.
