Zeller See

The Zeller See lies to the north of the Grossglockner in the Middle Pinzgau, surrounded by commanding peaks. The lake is 4km/2.5mi long, 1.5km/ 1mi wide and up to 69m/225ft deep; the temperature of the water in summer can be as high as 20 deg C/68 deg F. Around the lake and in the little towns and villages reaching up into the valleys are facilities for a variety of sports. The well-equipped resorts of Zell am See, Saalbach and Kaprun have combined to form the "Europa Sport Region", linking the interests of advertising, public services, planning and transport. As well as providing facilities for winter and water sports, riding, tennis, golf and ice skating enthusiasts are also well catered for. In Zell am See there is a gliding school as well as four ski schools.
