The resort
Zell am See, set between a lake and a mountain, is popular throughout the year, with a traffic-free, medieval centre. Despite the resort having a small ski area there is a lot of variety, and just along the road are the snow-sure slopes on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier at Kaprun.
The snow
Winter has returned to Zell am See this week with snow falling continuously since Monday. Fresh tracks can be found all over the upper mountain, with powder on the Schmittenhohe, although the pistes leading back to the resort are icy in places. This will improve, with more snow forecast in the days ahead.
The other skiers
The slopes have been very quiet this week due to the heavy snow and bitterly cold wind. Those braving the mountain have been a mixture of skiers and boarders, but there are no children as the holidays are now over until Easter.
