Rooms & Amenities

Pension Max offers double, single, triple, quadruple rooms, and suites. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, and a private bathroom with a shower. Some rooms feature parquet floors, soundproof walls, and city or lake views. The suite includes a balcony with lake views and a bathroom with a bath and shower.

Summer & Winter Activities

In summer, guests can hike directly from the property or cycle on the Tauernradweg, a 325 km route from Krimml to Passau. The Zell am See-Kaprun Summer Card, included with stays from May 15 to October 15, provides access to cable cars, indoor pools, and attractions like Krimmler Waterfalls. In winter, the ski area features 138 km of slopes across three mountains, including the Kitzsteinhorn glacier, open from early autumn to late spring.

Golf & Outdoor Sports

The Golfclub Zell am See-Kaprun has two 18-hole courses, Schmittenhöhe and Kitzsteinhorn, set against alpine scenery. The lake's drinking-water quality makes it ideal for swimming, while nearby trails like Geißstein and Wüstlau cater to mountain bikers. Triathlon training is popular here, with IRONMAN 70.3 events held annually.

Location & Nearby Attractions

Pension Max is 700 meters from Zell am See's pedestrian zone, which has restaurants and shops. The Vogtturm City Museum is 300 meters away, and Lake Zell's esplanade is a 5-minute walk. The CityXpress cable car station is a 5-minute walk, providing access to Schmittenhoehe Ski Resort and Zeller See Beach.

Services & Extras

Guests receive a free breakfast buffet and access to a sauna. The property offers ski storage and bike-friendly amenities, including E-bike rentals for exploring the Tauernradweg. The Summer Card, provided at check-in, saves up to €500 per week on local attractions and transport.

“This pension strikes a balance between accessibility and comfort, placing guests steps from Lake Zell and the city center. Renovated with a modern Alpine touch, it's well-suited for those eager to explore both summer sports and winter ski facilities; the included Summer Card sweetens the deal, unlocking local attractions. For active travelers-cyclists, golfers, or those training for triathlons-the location and amenities offer real advantages.”
