“The property stands out with its ski-in/ski-out access and inclusive Zell am See Kaprun Summer Card. While guest feedback mentions the rooms might not fully reflect a 4-star experience, the spa and other facilities impress. Dining is solid, especially considering the half-board option, with a location convenient for skiing.”
