Boat tours on Lake Zell

Cruises and boat trips in Zell am See

A boat tour with an incredible mountain panorama is exactly what you want to experience on your holiday or during an event? On Lake Zell, this dream can come true! Enjoy some breath-taking views during a cruise or lake-crossing: the Kitzsteinhorn, the Steinernes Meer range and, of course, Zell’s landmark mountain, the Schmittenhöhe. The best spot for that is up on the ship’s sun deck!
