Berghotel Schmittenhöhe: Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really ski-in/ski-out?
Yes. Berghotel Schmittenhöhe stands at 1,965 m at the top of the ski area, so guests click in outside the door instead of riding a valley gondola first.
How do you get there with luggage?
Access to Berghotel Schmittenhöhe is by cable car from Zell am See, since there is no guest road to the summit. Luggage handling is arranged with the hotel in advance.
Who should avoid it?
Anyone who wants restaurants, shops and après-ski bars on the doorstep should avoid Berghotel Schmittenhöhe, because the mountain empties after the lifts close and the town is roughly 1,200 vertical metres below.
How does it compare with staying in town?
Berghotel Schmittenhöhe trades town amenities for first tracks and quiet evenings. Town hotels such as the Tirolerhof reverse that: more choice at night, a gondola ride each morning.
What ski terrain is on the doorstep?
Berghotel Schmittenhöhe sits directly on the Schmittenhöhe slopes, and the same Ski ALPIN CARD also covers the Kitzsteinhorn glacier around 3,029 m for early and late season snow.
