Hotel Zum Hirschen Reviews
The hotel was everything your adviser had described: comfortable, convenient, welcoming and with excellent food. Our only ( minor ) gripe would be slight meanness with soap etc. in the bathroom. We had a room on the third floor which was quiet. The skiing was excellent for intermediates as were the beautiful views round every bend. The only real negative was Salzburg Airport which really cannot cope with the volume of passengers in February. We had to queue 15 (!) minutes for the toilet on arrival and on departure there were enough seats for one plane load of passengers, let alone the 8 flights that were boarding when we were there. Overall an excellent holiday!

Brilliant snow, great weather and superb hotel - one of the best of our 30 or so ski holidays. Before we went, we hadn't realized the variety possible with a Super Salzburg pass, so two days in Saalbach, and a day in Kaprun and Maria Alm proved wrong any fears that skiing at Zell am Zee might be limited. Very attentive reps, excellent meals - even relatively inexpensive on the slopes - a great holiday!!
