Ski area Zillertal Arena

The highest point is the Übergangsjoch, which lies at an altitude of 2,500 metres and marks the link between Zell am Ziller and Gerlos.

The Arena Tour from Zell am Ziller to Hochkrimml takes about 3 hours with no stops, but of course that also depends on the queue times at the individual lifts. However, the Arena Tour is possible, there and back, in one day of skiing for an average skier

The Zillertal Arena has 150 kilometres of pistes, with a wide range of options for all abilities.

The Zillertal Arena is open until 12/04/2026 and, with almost 100% snow guarantee and skiing up to 2,500 m, offers the perfect ski holiday in Zillertal for the whole family.

Thanks to the location of the pistes at up to 2,500 m, snow is almost 100% guaranteed from the start of the season to the end.

Transport on the gondola lifts is possible. On chair lift, it depends whether the winter sports equipment is attached to the rider by at least one foot. Like with a snowboard, for example, because one foot is fixed in the binding while the other is free. Transport on chair lifts is therefore permitted.

Lost items are always brought to the ticket desk at the bottom station at the end of the day and kept there.

There are 14 free additional offers in the Zillertal Arena (ski movie, speed check and photopoint stations) that can be used free of charge. To download the images, simply register at www.skiline.cc/zillertalarena or in the Skiline app using your ski pass number.

The current status of the open lifts and pistes can be viewed at any time in our interactive piste panorama. You can find this at www.zillertalarena.com or in the Zillertal Arena app.

There are no discounts for students or pensioners on the Zillertal Super Ski Pass.

There are no early bird discounts on the Zillertal Super Ski Pass anywhere in the Zillertal valley. In the interests of maximum transparency in pricing, the Zillertal cable car companies are continuing to adhere to their well-established pricing policy. Our guests receive a fixed price for the entire winter season instead of the ‘dynamic pricing’ sometimes used in other ski resorts, which often confronts guests with unpredictable price fluctuations during the season. In the Zillertal, there is no obligation to purchase the Zillertal Super Ski Pass – valid on all cable car facilities in the Zillertal – in advance or to take a booking risk for early bird discounts. Great attention is paid to family-friendly pricing, which translates into a high child discount of 55% and a youth discount of 20% for families, delighting the family budget – and this with 100% predictability and a price guarantee. Under these conditions, our guests receive a sensational range of services throughout the winter season, from state-of-the-art facilities to guaranteed snow thanks to the powerful technical snow-making infrastructure.
