Ski area Zillertal Arena
The Zillertal Arena is the most versatile, family-friendly and largest ski area in the Zillertal. With 150 kilometres of piste stretching from Zell am Ziller via Gerlos and Königsleiten to Hochkrimml and 49 modern lift systems, it offers fun in the snow up to an altitude of 2,500 metres. From there, you can choose from a wide variety of descent options. One of the most difficult pistes is the 2.5 km long "descent no. 36" in Krummbachtal with a difference in altitude of 613 metres. The longest descent is the 9 km long descent to the valley, which leads from "Stoanmandl" via "Ebenfeld" to the "Isskogl" valley station. You can even get back to the village on a total of 4 descents to the valley.
Look forward to 14 free offers such as Skimovie, Speed Check and Photopoints as well as toboggan runs and cross-country ski trails. The 34 huts & mountain restaurants invite you to stop for a bite to eat, while 11 ski & snowboard schools ensure your first successful turns on the pistes. Almost 100% reliability of snow guarantees perfect winter fun!
Après ski Zillertal Arena
The longest toboggan run in the Zillertal is a sporty option. After the comfortable ascent with the Gerlossteinbahn, 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 somewhat different snow fun in the Gerlosstein ski area is called "snow tubing". On specially groomed tracks, all winter fans can try out this tyre fun for free and as often as they like.
For those looking for a little more sporting adventure, there is the opportunity to try 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 on your own 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 approx. 1-hour hike starts at the Gerlossteinbahn mountain station 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 skittles / skittle alley. An unforgettable experience for every holidaymaker is a ride on a horse-drawn sleigh through the snowy winter landscape or a guided snowshoe hiking tour with intensive enjoyment of nature.
Snowpark Zillertal Arena: Snowpark
In the Zillertal Arena, there are so many 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 snow park, a hotspot for park professionals at the Vorkogel lift covering an area of 30,000 m². There is just the right offer for beginners and pros alike. Beginners can improve their skills and new skills 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 lines for the whole family and the fun park Hochkrimml as an ideal introduction for young freestylers. TIP: Every Tuesday from 11.00 am, the "Shredschool" stops off at the Action Park Kreuzwiese and offers free freestyle workshops for all daredevils.
