Zell am See · Austria · Ordinary hotel, well placed
Staying at Zell am See for the Austrian Alps
The best-placed town in the Austrian Alps for a week of driving out and back — the Krimml falls, the Grossglockner road, the Eisriesenwelt and a glacier are all day trips from it — and the food all has to come to you.
No kosher kitchen — listed for where it stands, not for its food.
More details
- Every Austrian mountain entry on this site except the Nordkette is reachable from here in a day, which no other town in the country manages. That is the reason to be here rather than anywhere prettier.
- There is no kosher provision in the Pinzgau and none anywhere in Austria outside Vienna. Two ways round it, both listed here: Kosher Tirol delivers prepared meals and Shabbos food into this valley in season, and Chabad of Salzburg does Shabbos meals on advance registration.
- Order the food before you book the hotel, not after. A valley with no shop is a valley where the meals are the fixed part of the plan and the hotel is the flexible one.
- There is a lake, with lidos and open public bathing and no separate arrangement of any kind. Worth knowing before choosing a hotel on the shore for the swimming.
- Listed as an ordinary hotel town. No kosher claim is made by anything here and none is implied.
