With a great mix of restaurants, cafés, pubs and discos, the après ski can be as energetic as you wish. Families are well provided for too with great daycare and fun children's clubs.
Picture a beautiful frozen lake below as you cruise the blues and attack the reds – this is Zell am See in winter time. Next, picture a 3,000 metre glacier, a playground for piste hounds and freeriders alike – this is the Kitzteinhorn glacier at Kaprun. Together, they create a holiday combination that Topflight skiers and boarders love.
An old market town that grew in stature with the construction of a railway, Zell Am See is part of the Europa Sport Ski area and offers 138km of varied terrain on the Schmittenhohe, including gentle terrain for beginners, steeper slopes for intermediates and a fun park.
The resort is situated in an area of natural beauty with views of Austria’s highest peak, the majestic Grossglockner.
In ski terms, the beauty of this area is the short bus ride to the Kitzsteinhorn, which opens up on-piste and off-piste options for passionate skiers and boarders to have fun with. For culture vultures, Kaprun is also home to a medieval castle.
The centre of Zell Am See is lovely to wander around. Enjoy the weekly market, relax with a Glühwein after skiing and succumb to the Après -ski experience that is the Crazy Daisy!
Zell am See offers lively nightlife, from traditional zither music to discos and live bands. A Little Bit of Irish is the only non-smoking bar. Other popular bars include Pavillon, Lederhosen, Cabrio, Schnaps-Hans and Crazy Daisy’s which serves beer from the barrel and offers great food at reasonable prices. KupferKessel is another popular restaurant.

Your Resort Managers
Lindsey Cairns
Welcome to Austria, my name is Lindsey and I am originally from Scotland but our home has been in Austria for many years now.I started to ski as soon as I could walk in the Highlands of Scotland, however in search of fairer weather skiing, I came to Austria when I was 18. My love of skiing in winter and cycling in summer means that I know Austria pretty well and I want you to love it just as much as I do. Our excellent team is here to ensure you enjoy your well earned ski holiday, so please let them know if you have any questions. Our aim is that you return home happy, so let us deal with anything that gets in the way of that, when you are in resort. Your Resort Managers are here to help, so pop along and see them, you never know what tidbit of information you might learn. I wish you a fantastic holiday and Viel Spass auf den Bergen (have fun on the mountains).
Shane Cusack
Hey there, my name is Shane and I'm delighted to welcome you to Zell am See & Kaprun. Being an adventure advocate, my love for skiing started at a young age and has since grown into one of my greatest passions. These resorts have so much to offer, from their breathtaking winter scenery, to the culture and warm hospitality that makes them feel like a home away from home. Whether you are the first on the lift to enjoy the fresh groomed snow, or prefer spending a well-deserved day at the spa, we want to make your trip as enjoyable as possible. From the moment you arrive in resort I will be there to offer help, support, guidance and useful tips. Viel Spaß!
Trisha Hand
Céad míle fáilte to Austria! My name is Patricia, from County Monaghan and this is my 6th year in Austria.

Let’s catch up whenever you’re in Resort and I’ll let you know What’s Hot and What’s Not on the mountain.I’m here to make sure you folks have the BEST holiday ever!
Sue Katuszonek
Hi, my name is Susan and I am originally from Yorkshire. Austria is now my home and I have had the great privilege of living in the mountains for the last 14 years. Austria is a beautiful country with an amazing culture and there is nothing more special than a winter ski resort. I am so happy to be working for Topflight and Directski this season as your Resort Manager. I look forward to welcoming you all to the beautiful resorts of Kitzbühel,Niederau and Kirchberg and am here to make sure that you have the best time both on and off the slopes. Speaking of slopes, my favourite colour is blue and these are the slopes I stick to when I am not in a mountain restaurant enjoying a hot chocolate, Glühwein or apple strudel! I hope some of you will join me in this lovely tradition!
