Warm summer days are perfect for discovering the lakes and swimming areas around the Hochkönig region. Lake Zell is the best-known destination, offering public beaches, boat trips, stand-up paddleboarding and unforgettable views of the surrounding mountains.
Closer regional pools and smaller bathing areas provide easy alternatives for families or a relaxed afternoon. Combine a day by the water with a visit to Zell am See, a lakeside lunch or an evening stroll along the promenade.
