Property Description
Relax on our large balcony with stunning views after a day on the slopes, or out in the beautiful Austrian countryside. Snooze by the pool in the summer, and sleep in the most comfortable beds, with crisp white linen and fluffy towels. Our spacious apartment, in a converted Chalet, is ideal for families and couples alike. It’s brilliant for skiing/boarding in the winter, and walking, cycling and outdoor adventures during the summer. For details of Skiing/Boarding go to http://www.zellamsee-kaprun.com/en/activities/ski-board.
Alongside the Schmittenhöhe with 77 kilometres and the Kitzsteinhorn with 41 kilometres of ski slopes, the Maiskogel family mountain with 20km of slopes also has excellent winter adventures in store, with excellent snow-making facilities on all slopes. Saalbach/Hinterglemm is only 20 minutes by car too.
The Ski Bus is free with a Lift Pass and only a few minutes walk from the apartment. You can see the Maiskogel slopes (Kaprun) and Kitzsteinhorn Glacier from the balcony and the substantial Schmittenhöhe ski runs (Zell am See) are a short 10 minute Bus or Car journey, with free parking.
The Tauern Spa is just down the road, as are two supermarkets and various very good restaurants.
The views from the balcony are breathtaking and the sight of the sun coming up or going down behind the snow capped mountains is a memory that will stay with you forever.
It has 2 large double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 toilets and 2 spacious walk-in wardrobe/dressing rooms. The open plan kitchen/living room has a sofa-bed, flat-screen TV and DVD player. All rooms open out onto a large south facing balcony with panoramic views of the Grossglockner mountains and valley below. The property also benefits from a heated outdoor pool, residents’ lounge, free WiFi and private garage. It is a true year-round location with superb outdoor activities available in the summer, such as cycling (off-road and dedicated tracks), wonderful scenic walks and water-based activities on Lake Zell. It is also ideally situated for the ski season, which starts early in Kaprun. The Kitzsteinhorn Glacier offers year-round skiing and the apartment is only 80 yards from the ski bus, with Zell am See, Saalbach, Mittersill, Bad Gastein, & Kitzbuhel within 5-45 minutes away.
The kitchen is very well equipped and the local food shops very good, so you can easily self cater. However, there are a number of excellent restaurants to suit every budget in Kaprun and Zell am See for those that prefer to eat out.
An added benefit of the accommodation is the services of an Onsite Building Manager, who is available each morning. You will also be visited by our Housekeeper, Gerdi, who can talk through restaurant recommendations, sites, ski areas, etc.
The apartment benefits from a 15 metre long heated outdoor pool which is open from May to end September. There is an adjacent grass area and sun loungers for relaxing. From here the view across the Hohe-Tauern National Park to the Kitzsteinhorn glacier and Kaprun ski areas is breathtaking. There is a lockable bike store, private garaging for 2 cars and a new, large ski/boot room with heated racks is easily accessible on the ground floor, near the main entrance.
Our apartment is ideally located for taking full advantage of the superb hiking and biking trails, both through the valley and in the mountains. You can even walk directly from the apartment to the top of the Scmittenhohe slopes, which are immediately behind the apartment and run directly down to central Zell am See. Local bike hire can easily be arranged and we can also arrange guided hiking tours, both half and full day!
