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.

Skiing on the Kaprun glacier is possible right through the Summer. because of this and its excellent snow record, the ski season starts any time from late October and can extend well into May. the apartment is just 250 metres fromthe local area the ski lift and if you fancy a change, or simply run out of runs to excite you, the resorts of Saalbach and Hinterglem are also just a 15 minute bus ride away.

In winter cheap flights start at just £1 each way with regular flights going from most regional UK airports. Try www.ryanair.com ( up to 3 flights per day), www.thomsonfly.com www.skyeurope.com www.flybe.com In summer daliy flights are still available with Ryanair and Thomsonfly operate at least 3 days per week from both Coventry and Gatwick.

Generally, although the roads are kept clear of snow, we don't recommend a car in winter, its simply not necessary but in the summer a car is ideal for exporing the area, re recommend avis, and autoeurope for the best rates.
