Zell am See, Alpine resort town in Salzburg, Austria

The municipality extends along Lake Zell's western shore, surrounded by the Kitzbühel Alps and dominated by the 1,965-meter Schmittenhöhe mountain.

Monks established the settlement in 740 AD under the name Cella in Bisoncia, and the area received market town rights in 1357.

St Hippolyte's Church contains the oldest architectural elements in the Pinzgau region, displaying both Gothic and Romanesque construction styles.

The town connects to 138 kilometers of ski slopes through modern lifts, while summer activities include swimming and water sports on Lake Zell.
