Beyond Salzburg: Zell am See

There are two recommended winter resorts near Salzburg. A convenient escape is Zell am See, a quaint Tyrolean village only an hour drive away. It’s known for its gorgeous setting on a lake (Zeller See), surrounded by Alpine mountains and the nearby Kaprun Glacier. There’s plenty of great skiing for all levels, as well as a healthy après-ski scene.

Where to Stay: Salzburger Hof (www.salzburgerhof.at), a gorgeous chalet near the lake that has been in the same family for decades, remains the grande dame choice.
