4 Big Ski Areas, 178 top modern lift systems, 487 kilometers of best prepared slopes – Zillertal is one of the most popular destinations for the discerning skier

The beautiful snowy Zillertal Alps are not just a destination for sports people – young and old, play sports or relax, enjoy nature or loudly celebrate Après Ski – anything is possible, and everyone can find his own.

Reach places with hiking where else just skiers can go there. Snowshoeing allows even non-skiers a memorable wintry mountain experience

From simple, short, to multi-day challenging ski tours, everything is available in the Zillertal. Classics and Secrets – best to do with a local mountain guide.

Amongst ice climbers the Zillertal increasingly become a popular point of interest. It features clasic ice falls and eternal icy summit flanks.

With wide “blades” in bold lines down steep slopes full of “powder”- not for everyone – but totally cool for those who can do it. Some slopes in the Zillertal have already reached cult status in this scene.

Anyone who ever “floated” on real powder, is addictive. Powder slopes are not just reserved for ski touring, some of it can be reached from the ski resorts – assuming you have the ability to do it and know about the dangers.

If the snow is not yours, or you have to wait in the valley until the skiing husband comes back in the evening, you are in a place offering plenty of alternatives to enjoy your holiday. A walk along the Ziller, shopping in the center, the water park and numerous other indoor activities to choose from.

Perfect conditions and an ideal area for paragliders and hang gliders – for professionals, beginners in one of the flight schools or fellow passengers on a tandem flight.
