Why Zell am See matters

Zell am See sits on a clear lake surrounded by mountains, and works as a base for both summer and winter. In summer people swim, sail and cycle around the lake, while in winter ski slopes and a nearby glacier take over. It is also the best base for the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, Austria's most scenic drive.
