Gerlos & Königsleiten – Skiing Without Limits

The Zillertal Arena between Zell am Ziller and Königsleiten is the largest interconnected ski area in the Zillertal with 150 kilometres of piste. Gerlos and Königsleiten form its heart – with modern lift systems, a first-class snow park and the famous borderless descent that connects two federal provinces.

150 Kilometres of Piste for Every Taste

From gentle family runs to challenging black mogul pistes, the Zillertal Arena offers everything. Especially popular: the descent from Königsleiten with 1,930 metres of altitude difference – one of the longest runs in the Alps. The Krimml 10-seater gondola and new Arena Xpress ensure comfortable and fast transport.

The Arena Snow Park

The Gerlos Snow Park is among the best in Tyrol. Over one kilometre long, freestylers find kickers, rails, boxes and a halfpipe – divided into Easy, Medium and Pro lines. The park crew keeps obstacles in top condition, and regular events provide a great atmosphere.

💡 Insider Tip: The Krimml Waterfalls – Europe's highest waterfalls at 380 metres – are reachable from Gerlos in 20 minutes by car and are a spectacular natural sight even in winter (partly frozen!).

Night Skiing and Events

Every Tuesday and Thursday, the floodlit piste in Gerlos is illuminated – night skiing with après-ski atmosphere until 9:30 pm. Regular events include the Arena Snow Fest, ski touring races and photo contests with attractive prizes.

"The Zillertal Arena has its own special magic – the combination of Tyrolean hospitality and Salzburg joie de vivre, connected by limitless pistes."
