4-star ski-in/ski-out hotel with complimentary Zell am See Kaprun Summer Card
Location & Ski Access
Vaya Zell Am See sits directly at the bottom of three gondolas leading to Schmittenhöhe. Skiers access the slopes via black and red runs that end at the hotel doorstep. An on-site ski school operates separately, and ski rental is available from Brundl with shops inside each gondola station.
Dining
The hotel serves a half-board menu with three daily dinner choices (meat, fish, or vegetarian) selected at breakfast. Themed dinner nights alternate between Italian, Austrian, and international cuisines. Guests sit at the same reserved table throughout their stay, and the bar opens at 8:30 pm for après-ski drinks.
Wellness & Pool
An indoor heated pool connects to a maintained garden area with sun loungers. The spa includes a sauna, steam room, and massage services, though the sauna requires nudity. A small jacuzzi fits one person, and the steam room accommodates two guests.
Rooms & Family
Room types include Deluxe, Superior, Grand Deluxe, and Family Rooms, all with balconies and mountain views. Family suites offer sofa beds, and a kids club provides evening entertainment. Daily room maintenance keeps high cleanliness standards, but some rooms are dated with carpet flooring.
Summer Card & Activities
Every guest receives the Zell am See Kaprun Summer Card, granting free access to cable cars and local attractions. The hotel organizes e-bike tours and promotes cycling, hiking, and golf at the nearby Zell am See-Kaprun Golf Course. A bus stops outside the hotel every 30 minutes to reach the town center.

“Vaya Zell Am See immediately impresses with its ski-in, ski-out access, positioning you directly on the slopes, while the exceptionally helpful staff ensure a smooth, almost effortless stay. The dining experience, from the international breakfast spread to the high-quality dinners, consistently stands out, creating a truly satisfying culinary journey. Its location is a significant advantage, offering both convenience for winter sports enthusiasts and easy access to summer activities with regional passes.”
