Schüttdorf: Cross-Country Skiing, Hiking Trails and Lake Zell

Schüttdorf combines documented winter activities with hiking trails, Lake Zell and various transport connections. The following local references show what differences can be found within Schüttdorf.

Cross-Country Skiing and Natural Areas at Lake Zell

The “Schüttdorf cross-country ski trail” is an approximately seven-kilometre-long, flat beginner’s cross-country ski trail along the wintry southern shore of Lake Zell. Four kilometres of this trail run through the nature reserve on the southern shore of Lake Zell. The route therefore not only follows the water, but also touches a protected landscape area. The beginner-friendly nature and flat route are expressly documented for this trail; however, no general statement about other winter sports activities can be derived from this.

Hiking Trails from Schüttdorf and to the Schmittenhöhe

A route in the WiesenKönigReich can be started in the Granisiedlung district of Schüttdorf near the tennis hall. For uphill routes, the “Ebenbergalmweg” is also an option. It begins at the “Dorfschenke” in Schüttdorf and leads either to the Ebenbergalm or to the centre of Zell am See. The trail runs from Schüttdorf through the forest via the Ebenbergalm and offers views of Lake Zell. The “Seespitz-Zaunlückensteig” begins at the Nikolaus-Gassner-Promenade in Schüttdorf. From there, it climbs to the Plettsauberg and continues to the reservoir at the Plettsaukopf. Another documented option is the “Hike from Sonnkogel to Schüttdorf”. It eventually returns to the valley station of the areitXpress and offers views of 30 peaks over 3,000 metres high. For the connection to the Schmittenhöhe, the areitXpress is a specific local reference: the modern 10-person gondola lift leads from the Schüttdorf district to the Schmittenhöhe. In summer, it provides a practical access point to the Schmittenhöhe hiking area. This does not imply anything about current operating hours, open facilities or a specific range of ski runs.

Seespitz Lido, Lake Access and Protected Area

The Seespitz lido is located on the southern shore of Lake Zell in the Schüttdorf district. It provides access to Lake Zell and has two jetties extending into the water. The lido also includes a solar-heated swimming pool. Stand-up paddleboards and windsurfing equipment can be rented at the windsurfing centre next to the lido. The lido can be reached by public transport and by bicycle. The landscape around the southern shore is characterised by the Lake Zell South Nature and Landscape Protection Area. It extends over more than 220 hectares in the southern siltation zone of Lake Zell. This protected status describes the documented landscape area and does not automatically indicate the possible uses at every individual location.

Getting There and Local Connections

The “Schüttdorf-Bruckberg-Zellermoos” city bus operates from Monday to Friday on working days. There is also a connection to Zell am See via bus 660 at the Schüttdorf ÖBB-Postbus garage. This provides specific public transport connections within the local area for travel planning; travel times and current timetables are not specified here. When searching for accommodation in Schüttdorf, you can therefore weigh up whether to focus on the cross-country ski trail, the lake, documented hiking trails or transport connections. The available facts document local and excursion-related connections, but do not establish any specific accommodation features, distances, prices or availability.

Local Culture

As an additional cultural reference, Schüttdorf Parish Church has a Marian chapel with the statue “Maria am Weg”. It thus offers a distinct local aspect alongside cross-country skiing, hiking trails, lake access and landscape protection.
