3 lidos in Zell am See
Nothing stands in the way of a perfect bathing holiday in Zell am See-Kaprun. The three lidos offer the perfect locations for this:
- Zell am See Lido
- Thumersbach Lido
- Seespitz Lido
Each of the three bathing lake beaches also has a heated outdoor pool. A jump into one of the cleanest lakes in Austria, Lake Zell, is definitely worth it. You can also enjoy a rest on the lawn while your kids play. The Zell am See Lido has a five-meter high diving platform for everyone who loves the thrill.
Activities at Lake Zell
Another thing you should try is the giant slide. You will find a toddler pool for your children in the Zell am See Lido. The Thumersbach Lido is a natural pool and is located exactly opposite the Zell am See Lido. What you shouldn’t miss here is a round of parasailing. The Seespitz Lido is located in the south of Lake Zell. It has a particularly large sunbathing area and offers great activities. If you want to prove yourself in windsurfing or stand-up paddling, then you are in the right place at the Seespitz Lido in Schuettdorf. The windsurf center is directly adjacent to the lido.
Equipment rental
You can move actively and enjoy the view with stand-up paddling, water skiing, windsurfing or sailing on Lake Zell. These water sports are particularly fun. We recommend Edi’s water ski school at the Zell am See Lido and Thumersbach Lido, so that you can borrow high-quality equipment for stand-up paddling. If you would like to learn windsurfing or sailing, we recommend the Vettermann sailing and surfing school in Zell am See. There it is also possible to rent sailing boats and surfing equipment.
