A beautiful Austrian town with the added benefit of a beautiful lake with views of it whilst skiing. Spent a week here mid January 2023. We skied Zell, Saalbach and Kaprun. Sadly, the pistes most of the week in Zell had not been pisted which made the skiing quite challenging to say the least. Kaprun, lower down, had been pisted which was better. It’s a shame as it was a lovely resort and I would have expected better of such a well known resort. The rep told us it was pisted every night but I would dispute this. Not once did we see a pisten bully all week at any time. I don’t expect perfect conditions when skiing as that is rare. However, this was another level! I have skied many resorts and many different conditions over the years but to be honest this spoilt the week for me. I would think again before going to Zell again and this is the only reason for this. Although also it was extremely busy and made it quite dangerous at times. I dread to think what it would be like in half term.
