Excursion Destinations

Zell am See in winter

The town of Zell am See is a special excursion destination in winter too. On a walk through the old town, along the wintry Lake Zell or through the small streets, you can enjoy a beautiful mix of lake, mountains and town atmosphere. During Advent, it becomes especially atmospheric, when lights, music and the Star Advent create a festive winter mood.

A winter boat trip on Lake Zell is also a highlight. From the water, the Zell am See-Kaprun region shows itself from a very special side - with views of snow-covered mountains, the Kitzsteinhorn and the festively illuminated town.

Kitzsteinhorn and winter panorama

If you want to go high up, the Kitzsteinhorn in Kaprun offers an impressive winter day. The viewing platform provides wide views of the peaks of the Hohe Tauern and the snow-covered mountain world of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Even without skis, the Kitzsteinhorn is a worthwhile excursion destination for anyone who wants to enjoy glacier air, panorama and alpine impressions.

Thanks to its altitude, winter feels especially intense here. Clear air, snow, sunshine and the mighty mountain backdrop make the excursion a real experience - ideal for couples, families and everyone who wants to collect special moments during their winter holiday.

Advent, culture and museums

Romantic winter atmosphere also awaits you in the city of Salzburg. The Christmas market in the old town, the festively lit squares and the historic setting make a trip especially beautiful. If you want to combine culture and history, visit the Silent Night Museum in Hallein or the Salzwelten Salzburg - an exciting underground excursion destination where history, adventure and mining culture come together in a special way.

Directly in Niedernsill, a visit to the Noriker Horse Museum is also worthwhile. It tells the story of the strong Noriker horses, which have played an important role in Salzburger Land for centuries. With the included Guest Mobility Ticket, you remain flexible in winter too and can conveniently reach many excursion destinations by public transport.
