Holiday photographer in Zell am See

A holiday photographer in Zell am See is a photographer who joins you for an hour or two during your stay to take photos of your trip — couples, families or friends — so that everyone is finally in the pictures, not just the person holding the phone. The shoot takes place where you are spending your days anyway: the lake, the Schmittenhöhe, the Kitzsteinhorn or a gorge in Kaprun.

What makes planning easier here is the Zell am See-Kaprun Summer Card. According to the tourism board it cannot be bought; it is included when you stay with a partner accommodation and is valid for your summer holiday between 15 May and 31 October. It covers admissions to the Schmittenhöhe, the Kitzsteinhorn and the Maiskogel cable cars, boat trips on Lake Zell, the lidos, the Kaprun reservoirs and the Sigmund Thun Gorge, among others. That means you can choose the shoot location by light and mood rather than by ticket, and simply bring the photographer along. A session lasts 60 to 90 minutes, and the edited gallery arrives while the holiday is still fresh.

Location ideas in Zell am See

01
Panorama cruise on Lake Zell
About 45 minutes on the water from the Esplanade: relaxed group shots on deck with the town and mountains as backdrop.
02
Gipfelwelt 3000 on the Kitzsteinhorn
At the 3,029-metre mountain station, open all year: snow under your feet and a long view over the Hohe Tauern.
03
Lido in Schüttdorf (Seespitz)
Wooden jetties and a big lawn at the south end of the lake — good for summery, barefoot photos in the evening.

Good to know

Ask your accommodation for the Summer Card at check-in and plan the shoot day after you know which attractions it covers.
Book the photo session in the first half of your stay, so a weather delay can still be moved to another day.
The lake reaches up to 23 °C in summer, according to the tourism board — bring swimwear if you want photos jumping off a jetty.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Summer Card cover the photographer’s cable car ticket?

No. The Zell am See-Kaprun Summer Card is issued to guests of partner accommodations. Your holiday photographer in Zell am See buys their own ticket, which is part of the agreed booking.

Can we do a holiday photo shoot in Zell am See in winter?

Yes. In winter a holiday shoot in Zell am See moves to the snowy Schmittenhöhe, the lake shore or the Kitzsteinhorn ski area; the Summer Card is not valid then, so lift tickets are planned separately.

How soon do we receive our holiday photos?

Most holiday photographers in Zell am See deliver an edited online gallery within one to three weeks. If you want a few images during your stay, ask for a quick preview when you book.
