The Austrian Alps / Salzburgerland / Salzburgerland region
Zell am see is a very attractive, small town, siting right on the edge of a an alpine lake. It is in a wide sunny valley and is easily accessible by road and train. In winter the area is a skiers paridise but its not all about skiing, there is plenty to do for the non skier, unlike many modern ski stations. Imagine taking a horse drawn sleigh ride or learning to drive a dog sled, across the frozen lake. In summer the climate changes drastically and it can get very hot. Last year saw temperatures in May of 35 degrees! In summer the lake is the centre of activities, with lots of water sports posibilities, boat trips, etc. There are many prepared beach areas around the lake with changing facilities, children's play parks etc. it really is a good family resort.. Salzburg is a great place to visit for a day trip. Why not do the sound of Music or Mozart tours! The famous Grossglockner glacier and the Krimml falls are also closeby.

Guestbook for Bergstrasse Zell am See Centre
"This apartment has a view to die for and its in a great location for everything, we would definitely stay here again.
"We loved this apartment, the location was perfect, for us, quiet yet really close to the ski lift and shops and restaurants but the view is spectacular"
It is so nice to find a holiday apartment with a really decent kitchen"
We had never been to Austria in the summer and did not know what to expect. We wanted a change from spain ... we stayed in this apartment last summer, it was a great apartment with really lovely views. I can honestly say it was the best family holiday we have ever had. We wished we could have stayed longer as there is so much to do. The beaches were so well equipped and the water was surprisingly warm and so clean we could have drunk it!
" We will be back next year, you made it all so easy for us, thank you!"
