Golfing in Zell am See-Kaprun implies a lot more than just driving off the ball from the tee to the green. Nestled in Salzachtal valley, against the picturesque backdrop of the national park Hohe Tauern, the region's golf courses promise an unforgettable sporting experience. All passionate golfers who are looking for a special highlight absolutely have to drop in at the two 18-hole championship courses of the local golf club which, by the way, is the largest facility in the Austrian Alps.
In the immediate vicinity of the golf club, the local mountains Kitzsteinhorn and Schmittenhöhe - eponyms of the two golf courses - majestically tower above the roofs of the region. It is just a stone's throw from the golfing green to the white slopes. Thus, it only seems natural to combine holing out and going skiing. Guests who would like to enjoy the best features of two sports, can now opt for the new 'Ski & Golf Package'.
The unique arrangement is the perfect choice for all those who would like to combine the summery sporting pleasure on the fairway with winter fun on skis and board. From 17th April to 5th June guests can hole out on the golf course and leave their traces in the white snow on Kitzsteinhorn's glacier from 310 euros. The four-day package includes a two-day ski pass and the green fee. Naturally, holidaymakers can choose which days they would like to spend on the green and when to dash down the ski runs.
The Ski & Golf World Championship, taking place in Zell am See-Kaprun from 11th to 15th May, is the perfect example of the popularity of combining both sports. Pros like ski racers Bode Miller and Thomas Sykora are competing against each other on the ski runs and the golfing greens then. To qualify for the championship, athletes need a handicap of
-18. After the award ceremony on 14th May, the participants are celebrating the successful competition at the 'Villa Crazy Daisy' in Zell.
