Schmittenhöhe awakens: End of season on Schmitten and launch of summer program

Schmittenhöhe — the iconic backdrop of Zell am See above Lake Zell — concluded its 2025/2026 ski season in early April. But the mountain doesn't rest. Right now it transitions into an equally alluring summer gown: spring sunshine reveals panoramic hiking trails, artwork along slopes, and views of over 30 three-thousand-meter peaks.

ALPIN CARDs for the 2026 summer season are available in advance purchase at AreitXpress. The cable car whisks visitors up to the summit (1,965 m) overlooking Lake Zell, Kitzsteinhorn, and Hohe Tauern.

A taste of summer: Boat cruises on Lake Zell offer panoramic mountain views — an ideal introduction to the spring season on water and land.
