Resort Check: Zillertal Arena

If you can find better skiing than this, we want to know about it!

One of Austria’s largest ski regions, there’s 165 kilometres of perfectly prepared pistes and 51 lifts. Here you’ll ski at over 2500 metres through Zell, Gerlos, Königsleiten/Wald and Krimml/Hochkrimml (Salzburg).

With around 35 mountain huts, snow bars and restaurants, ski schools with their fairy-tale adventure play grounds for the little ones and a cross country ski trail at 1600 metres, the Zillertal Arena has a little something for every ski persuasion.

And since last season there is now a new freestyle park, the Hotzone.tv Park Gerlos, situated right in the middle of the area – it’s kitted out with a wide range of obstacles suitable for beginners to pros. 

Resort height: 2500m

Lifts: 51

Ski area: 165km
