    The chapel on the Schmittenhöhe was built in honor of Empress Elisabeth of Austria. The chapel was built between 1904 and 1905 under the most difficult conditions and was inaugurated in 1908 on the tenth anniversary of the Empress's death. Empress Sissi is said to have climbed the Schmittenhöhe on foot and marveled at the beauty of the impressive Alpine panorama at the spot where the chapel is located.

        The St. Elisabeth Chapel on the Schmittenhöhe was built in 1904 in honor of the Austrian Empress "Sisi." The small church stands directly at the summit and blends harmoniously into the mountain landscape. It is a quiet place of contemplation, offering a beautiful panoramic view of Lake Zell and the Hohe Tauern mountains.
