Lake Zell Am See Self-guided Walking Tour in one hotel

For those looking to indulge, the hiking region of Pinzgau is ideal. Do you want balance between a hiking experience and enjoyable relaxation? No problem! The mountain pastures, the craggy peaks and countless three-thousand-metre summits contrast with the tranquil, crystal-clear lake Zell and the rustic mountain sauna with its own swimming pond in the Schloss Kammer. A symphony to the senses and true to our special tour section: hiking with charm!

Highlights:

• Take the gondola to the Schmittenhöhe:You exit the gondola at an altitude of 1,965 metres to experience an impressive panoramic view of many three-thousand-metre peaks.
• Reach the summits: Both the Schwalbenwand and the Maishofner Hausberg are the jewel on the crown of the panoramic hike in Pinzgau. 1,280 metres above sea level and achieved in about five hours and open up the view of the Hohe Tauern and the Steinerne Meer.

Tour Character: Level 1

You walk on well-maintained walking paths and lovely trails with views onto the impressive mountain world of this region, and in parts on side roads and forest tracks. The daily tours can be managed with good health. Only the climb up to Schwalbenwand mountain and the descent from the Schmittenhöhe require some stamina

Your hotel: 4****

The motto of the family Neumayer “preserve traditional values worth of protection and convince with the contemporary” is implemented in a very lovely way in every detail of their hotel. The family has been leading, and above all living, the agricultural and touristic family business for eight generations. This is how they make you feel what it means to be “really a guest”. The castle, which was fully renovated in 1994 and 2007, will take you back to ancient times and still you won’t miss any modern comfort. Only natural materials were used in the very stylish rooms. The family’s love for local products can also be found in the hotel kitchen. The hotel restaurant is widely known for its Pinzgau specialities for which products from the farm, the garden, the fields and woods are used. Even the bread is baked in their own wooden stove. The Badstub`n spa – with a rustic farmer’s sauna, stone bath, solarium, and infrared cabin – invites you to relax. Or you can refresh yourself in the large swimming pond in the garden of the castle.
