Ski area Zillertal Arena
The Zillertal Arena is the versatile, family-friendly and largest ski area in the Zillertal. With 150 kilometres of pistes stretching from Zell am Ziller via Gerlos and Königsleiten to Hochkrimml and 52 modern lifts, it offers fun in the snow up to an altitude of 2,500 metres. From there, you can choose between a wide variety of slopes. One of the most difficult pistes is the 2.5 km long "Run No. 36" in Krummbachtal with a difference in altitude of 613 metres. The longest descent is the 9 km long valley run, which leads from "Stoanmandl" via "Ebenfeld" to the "Isskogl" valley station. You can even get back to the village on a total of 4 downhill runs.
Look forward to 14 free offers such as Skimovie, Speed Check and Photopoints as well as 6 toboggan runs and 200 km of cross-country ski trails. The 34 huts & mountain restaurants invite you to stop for a bite to eat, while 11 ski & snowboard schools will help you make your first turns on the slopes. Almost 100% snow reliability guarantees perfect winter fun!
As a further highlight in the Zillertal, we recommend a trip to the Hintertux Glacier, which is one of the best glaciers in the Alps due to its size and challenging pistes.
Après ski Königsleiten
The longest toboggan run in the Zillertal is a sporty option. After the comfortable ascent with the Gerlossteinbahn cable car, the tobogganing fun starts at an altitude of 1,650 metres. The run is 7 kilometres long and floodlit until 01:00 - so you can enjoy a cosy stop at one of the rustic inns along the way. Königsleiten's toboggan run also offers a speedy descent for young and old after a day on the piste. The other type of snow fun in the Gerlosstein ski area is snowtubing. All winter fans can try out this tyre-based fun free of charge and as often as they like on specially prepared tracks.
If you are looking for a little more sporting adventure, you can try your hand at ice climbing at the Untersulzbach Falls. The national park area is also known worldwide as a top address for ski tourers and freeriders. An excursion to the frozen Krimml waterfalls, whether alone or on a guided torch-lit hike, or a horse-drawn carriage ride through the snow-covered winter landscape will make the hearts of romantics beat faster.
Alternatively, we recommend a hike up the Gerlosstein adventure mountain. On the Gerlosstein alpine promenade, you can learn lots of interesting facts about Zillertal history and culture at lovingly designed stations, even in winter. The starting point of the approx. 1-hour hike is the mountain station of the Gerlosstein cable car at 1,700 metres above sea level. The destination is the Zillertaler Almtribüne with a fantastic view of the Zillertal mountains. You can also experience action and fun on the "Arena Coaster", the first Alpine rollercoaster in the Zillertal! Sports enthusiasts can also let off steam on the artificial ice rink, in the indoor tennis centre or on the bowling alley. An unforgettable experience for every holidaymaker is a ride on a horse-drawn sleigh through the snow-covered winter landscape or a guided snowshoe hike with intensive enjoyment of nature.
Snowpark: Snowpark Königsleiten
In the Zillertal Arena, there are plenty of opportunities to freestyle and let off steam creatively. As usual, the 3 parks in the arena invite you to shred this winter too: First and foremost the Gerlos Snowpark, a hotspot for park pros at the Vorkogel lift on an area of 30,000 m². There is just the right offer for beginners and pros alike. Beginners can improve their skills and newly learnt tricks on the beginner line on an easy and compact set-up with boxes and jumps.
The Action Park Kreuzwiese in Zell am Ziller with Fun Runs and Beginner Line for the whole family and the Funpark Hochkrimml as an ideal introduction for young freestylers. TIP: Every Tuesday from 11.000:00 the "Shredschool" stops off at the Action Park Kreuzwiese and offers free freestyle workshops for all daredevils.
