Location

The summit hotel majestically towers above the town and Lake Zell on the Schmittenhöhe (2000m) with a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. Enjoy the sunrise and the wonderful mountain scenery.
The Schmittenhöhe is the Pinzgau family mountain. Child-friendly offers such as family hikes, or "Schmidolin's Adventure World" up to e-motocross make a family holiday an unforgettable experience.
In winter, it offers the perfect opportunity for ski-in and ski-out directly at the hotel. Here you can make your tracks on the most beautiful slopes while others are still waiting for the first gondola.
