The Zeller See is one of Austria’s most popular alpine lakes, located in the heart of the mountains around the town Zell am See. Surrounded by impressive peaks and known for its crystal-clear water, the lake reaches depths of over 65 meters and offers the perfect mix of relaxation, nature and summer activities.

During the warmer months, the lake becomes a favorite spot for swimming, paddleboarding, boating, or simply cooling off after a day in the mountains. Around the shoreline, visitors can find several well-maintained public beach resorts with sunbathing lawns, piers, and direct lake access. In addition, there are also free public access points around the lake, making it easy to enjoy a refreshing dip in the clear alpine water whenever you like.
