Zillertal Arena

52 state-of-the-art ski lifts take you to the largest ski resort in the Zillertal, 320 hectares in size. The slopes of the Zillertal Arena are divided into 11km of black, 89km of red and 43km of blue runs. Here, beginners will excel, but even the most demanding skiers will find a good challenge. The area is also popular with snowboarders.

The scenic beauty and the proximity to nature make the Zillertal Arena one of the most popular winter sports areas in the Austrian Alps. On the Gerlosplatte, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains. The longest continuous descent to Zell am Ziller is almost 2,000 vertical metres—a record in Austria! The Zillertal Arena has also made a name for itself as a family-friendly destination. Accordingly, in winter you will find a wide range of activities for children on the slopes and in the ski villages.

The Zillertal Arena is located, for the most part, in the Zillertal Alps, which are particularly popular among nature lovers because of their beauty and biodiversity. The smaller, higher part belongs to the Venediger group in the Hohe Tauern. Among other things, you’ll also find the largest waterfalls in Europe here—a worthwhile destination for a winter hike. If you are after cross-country skiing, you will find a particularly high-altitude trail at an altitude of over 2,300 m.
