Pension Margarete – Ski-in-ski-out at the Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See

Pension Margarete is a family-run bed-and-breakfast hotel in Zell am See, right next to the Schmittenhöhe cable cars. Three valley runs end right at our doorstep, and in summer the hiking trails start from the very same spot. A peaceful location two kilometers outside the center, a regional breakfast buffet, and awarded the Austrian Ecolabel.

Winter season 2026/27: starting Saturday, December 5, 2026. We are now accepting inquiries and bookings – by email at zell@pension-margarete.at or through our inquiry form.

Ski-in-ski-out, taken literally

While others are squeezing into the ski buses, you’re still sitting at breakfast – and still make it to the summit faster. Our house sits right next to trassXpress, the Schmittenhöhebahn, and the Sonnenalmbahn; runs 13, 14, and 20 end right in front of the house. The main ticket office and ski rental are just a few steps away, and the ski school is right next door.

It’s 2 kilometers to the center of Zell am See: 20 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by bus, with the bus stop right by the cable car.
