Diverse, family-friendly and reliable, Zillertal Arena has something for everyone. The winter sports area offers a wide choice of runs. Free WiFi is available throughout the ski resort.

Zillertal Arena regularly upgrades its lifts. Modern feeder lifts connect different villages with the ski resort.

Rohr and Gerlosplatte offer state-of-the-art chairlifts with weather protection. As a result, Gerlos now features modern gondola lifts. However, most chairlifts do not have weather protection.

What visitors say about the resort

Zillertal Arena is praised for its size and value: around 150 km of pistes, one lift pass for the entire valley and accommodation cheaper than in better-known neighbouring ski areas. Visitors also highlight the long descents from Gerlos and the good grooming.

Criticism focuses on the resort's spread-out layout - travelling between sectors can take a long time - and queues for the lifts from Rohr at weekends. Another common issue is that the lower slopes at around 600 m turn slushy during thaws, so getting down may require taking a gondola.
