Hiihtoalue Schmitten / Zell am See

The panoramic and family ski area - the Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See

Opening of the new Sonnkogelbahn and Sonnkogel Restaurant
The “Sonnkogelbahn” 3-seater chairlift was dismantled and withdrawn from service in the summer after almost 40 years in operation. The new combination lift from Doppelmayr’s D-Line is a complete novelty in Austria since, for the first time, the way the lift is used will change depending on the season – with 8-seater gondolas in summer and 6-seater chairs in winter.
The popular Sonnkogel Restaurant is reopening with the start of winter. The Sonnkogelbahn mountain station has been moved slightly to the east due to the construction of the new cable car, creating space for twice as many indoor seats, a generous extension to the sun terrace and a state-of-the-art kitchen with bar.

Schmitten tip:

Pure Mountain Vibes - Schmitten Unplugged is a highlight in the event calendar. On 16 and 17 December 2023, numerous musicians will fill the air around the Schmittenhöhe with the melodious melodies of Pure Mountain Vibes, which focuses on acoustic cover songs.
