Ski area Zillertal Arena

With the "Zillertaler Superskipass" you can choose from 542 kilometres of piste (incl. ski routes and snow parks) in Hochfügen, at Spieljoch, in the Hochzillertal, the Zillertal Arena (Zell, Gerlos, Königsleiten, Wald, Krimml and Gerlosstein), at the Penken, at the Ahorn, at the Horberg, in the "Ski and Gletscherwelt Zillertal 3000" (Finkenberg, Eggalm, Rastkogl, Hintertux Glacier) and at the Wildkogel-Arena at Bramberg. The ski areas are all excellently linked to one another by a free train and bus shuttle.

Königsleiten offers you direct access to the Zillertal Arena, which is connected to Zell am Ziller, and thus to 147 km of perfectly groomed slopes. Here, in the most extensive ski area of the Zillertal, 52 lifts transport you quickly and comfortably up to 2,500 metres. From there you have the choice between many varied downhill runs such as the black run no. 36 in the Krummbachtal. The longest downhill run, the 10.4 km long valley run, leads from "Stoanmandl" via "Ebenfeld" to the "Isskogl" valley station.

A true highlight of the region is the "Hot Zone Snowpark" in Gerlos. The newly designed park leaves hardly a wish unfulfilled on 30,000 m². Mega halfpipe (100 m long), Easy Line for beginners, Pro Line for experts and Kicker Line for the very brave convince all along the line, as do the sound system, the webcam and the new chillarea. The Zillertal Arena also offers numerous other special features, including 3 different "SkiMovie tracks". Here, your own performance is first recorded on video and is later available for free download. Children's slopes as well as a ski school and a ski kindergarten with a special children's programme ensure exciting entertainment for the little ones too.

Accompanying the Isskogelbahn, the new Dorfbahn from Gerlos now also leads into the heart of the Zillertal Arena. The new 10-person gondola lift built for the 2016/17 season has a mighty valley station with sports shop, ski rental and ski depot as well as over 200 new parking spaces. Since the 2018/19 season, a new 6-seater high-speed chairlift "Larmach" in Königsleiten offers heated seats and a weather protection bonnet.

As another 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 slopes.
