Swimming in Lake Zell is exactly the kind of refreshment you love in the mountains. The water seems clear, the view is wide, and all around you is this panorama of greenery and peaks. The world of the Hohe Tauern often shimmers in the background, and suddenly a day at the lake feels like a little vacation on vacation.

The light is often at its best in the morning. The lake looks clearer, the colors are vibrant and it is usually quieter than later in the afternoon. If you really want to enjoy the view, come early and then stay relaxed for as long as it feels good.

A shallow shore area is particularly important with children. It’s easy to get into the water, you can play at the edge and still get refreshed quickly. Pack your swimsuit, towel and a small snack, then it will be an easy, beautiful day.

From Saalbach Hinterglemm you are quickly in Zell am See, ideal for a half or full day on the water. Plan a little buffer in good weather, as parking spaces are often scarce around popular lakeside areas.

Back at the Rosentalerhof, the day continues on a wonderfully soft note: children play at Montelinos Erlebnisalmand if you feel like it, there is an uncomplicated refreshment, a pizza or pinsa, or an ice cream. Then it’s time for adventure golf and a round in the pool at the end. This turns a day at the lake into a whole vacation day.
