About this hotel
Perched in the Schmittenhöhe skiing and hiking area above Zell am See, Jaga Alm provides a classic alpine experience with striking panoramic views of Lake Zell and the surrounding mountains from every room's balcony. The hotel is designed for both active skiers and those seeking relaxation, with direct access to the slopes and a dedicated ski storage area. After a day on the mountain, the spa area offers two saunas, a steam bath, a tropical shower, and a relaxation room with views over Zell am See, perfect for unwinding. The restaurant serves traditional Austrian cuisine, often featuring products from the hotel's own farm and game from its hunting grounds, with a sun terrace to enjoy the scenery. Families will appreciate the playroom, playground, and petting zoo.

Our take
Jaga Alm sits up in the Schmittenhöhe ski area above Zell am See, and I would book it for skiers who want to start on the mountain rather than in town. Balconies give panoramic views over Lake Zell, and the spa with two saunas, a steam bath and a relaxation room covers the afternoon. The restaurant serves traditional Austrian food, private parking helps on arrival, and 161 reviews average 9.1.
- Make sure to book a room with a balcony to fully enjoy the panoramic lake and mountain views.
- Take advantage of the ski storage facilities to keep your gear secure and ready for the slopes.
- Spend an afternoon in the spa area; the relaxation room with views over Zell am See is a highlight after skiing.

Why guests love itStaying up in the Schmittenhöhe ski area above Zell am See felt like a real mountain escape, and the panoramic views of Lake Zell from our balcony were breathtaking. The kids loved being so close to the snow. After skiing we used the spa with its two saunas, steam bath and relaxation room while the children read in the room. Dinners of traditional Austrian food were hearty, and private parking and ski storage kept things easy.
