Der Erlhof Restaurant & Landhotel
Alpine charm by Lake Zell, with spa and ski bus
About this hotel
Der Erlhof Restaurant & Landhotel sits in a scenic spot by Lake Zell, offering a tranquil base for a ski trip. While not ski-in/ski-out, the free ski bus right outside the door makes getting to the Schmittenhöhe and Areitbahn Cable Cars straightforward. After a day on the slopes, the sauna and steam bath provide a welcome retreat. The gourmet restaurant serves classic Austrian cuisine, perfect for unwinding. Rooms are furnished in a traditional Alpine style, many with balconies overlooking the surrounding mountains, providing a peaceful atmosphere. A dedicated ski storage room ensures gear is kept safe and ready for the next day.

Our take
Der Erlhof is a restaurant with rooms on the shore of Lake Zell, and I would book it for couples who want a quieter lakeside base rather than the town centre. Rooms are in traditional Alpine style with mountain views, some with balconies, and the sauna and steam bath suit the evening. A free ski bus stops right outside for the Schmittenhöhe and Areitbahn lifts, and 698 reviews average 9.1.
- Use the free ski bus right outside the hotel to reach the main cable cars quickly and easily
- Book a room with a balcony to enjoy the striking mountain and lake views
- After a day of skiing, make sure to relax in the sauna and steam bath to soothe tired muscles

Why guests love itThe setting on Lake Zell is beautiful, and the free ski bus stopping right outside took us to the Schmittenhöhe and Areitbahn cable cars without any hassle. Our traditional Alpine-style room had mountain views and a balcony, cosy and calm after busy days. We left skis in the storage room, then warmed up in the sauna and steam bath. It felt romantic enough for us and relaxed enough for the kids.
