Zell am See–Kaprun is a great destination for a family holiday all year round. In summer, families can enjoy easy lakeside adventures such as swimming, stand-up paddling, or relaxing at the Strandbad lidos. Mountain playgrounds such as Schmidolin’s Adventure World on the Schmittenhöhe and the Family & Leisure Park Maiskogel offer slides, climbing areas and themed trails ideal for young explorers. For a bit of excitement, the Maisi Flitzer alpine coaster provides a thrilling ride with alpine views, while nature-loving families can walk through the Sigmund Thun Klamm gorge or take cable cars up to panoramic viewpoints like the TOP OF SALZBURG.

In winter, the region turns into a snowy playground with gentle ski slopes on the Schmittenhöhe and beginner-friendly areas around Kaprun that are perfect for children learning to ski. Families can also enjoy tobogganing or snowshoeing. And if you need a break from outdoor activities, the Tauern Spa offers warm, family-friendly relaxation with slides, kids’ pools and plenty of space to unwind.
