Step outside, click into your bindings, and you're on the piste. Familotel amiamo sits right next to the gondola in Austria's largest ski area, with family slopes and a practice area just metres away. No car, no bus, no fuss.
Ski-In and Ski-Out Three World-Class Resorts
Zell am See is home to Austria's largest connected ski area, and we're right in the middle of it. Three top ski areas on one lift pass: the family-friendly Schmittenhöhe right outside our door, the glacier runs of the Kitzsteinhorn for snow-sure skiing all season, and Saalbach-Hinterglemm for those who want endless variety. Over 400 km of pistes, from gentle nursery slopes to black runs that will test your legs.
Forget the stress of driving to a rental shop or queuing for lift passes. At amiamo, your ski holiday starts the moment you arrive. Hire the latest equipment downstairs, collect your lift passes at reception, and let the kids join their first lesson right in the hotel garden.
The Sport Alpin ski school is based right here at the hotel, every single day. Their instructors specialise in children and know exactly how to turn nervous beginners into confident little skiers. Book a lesson at reception, wave goodbye, and watch their faces light up when they tell you about their first turns at dinner.
Your little one's very first steps on skis happen right here in our garden. Children from age 3 learn to handle their equipment through play, building confidence before they ever see a real slope. It's relaxed, it's fun, and it's just steps from the hotel door. (Small surcharge applies.)
Not every child wants to hit the slopes, and that's perfectly fine. Our childcare team runs a packed daily programme for every age group: crafts, treasure hunts in the mine, theatre shows, pool time, and much more. They won't miss skiing for a second.

Ski weeks at amiamo
Skiing fun for the whole family . The family friendly ski area Schmittenhöhe directly in front of the hotel. Snow fun for everyone!
The Schmittenhöhe season runs from mid-December to early April. As temperatures warm up in spring, the Kitzsteinhorn glacier offers reliable snow well into the season.
Yes. Single-day and multi-day ski passes are available directly at our reception, so you can skip the queue at the ticket office and head straight to the slopes.
Our rates include the hotel stay with our all-inclusive soft drinks and meals package. Ski passes, ski lessons, and ski hire are booked separately, so you can tailor everything to your family's needs. You'll find ski hire and lesson bookings right here at the hotel, and lift passes at reception.
The beginner area is a 5-minute walk from the hotel, or a quick ride on our free shuttle. Once the instructors feel your children are ready, they take the areitXpress gondola up the mountain together. You'll know it's happened when they come back beaming.
We're right at the valley station of the areitXpress gondola on the Schmittenhöhe. Step outside, and you're there.
