News from the Zillertal Arena

Standing still is going backwards. For this reason, the Arena cable car companies are not resting on their laurels, but have set themselves ambitious goals for the next few years: long-awaited projects will be implemented in the coming months, which will not only represent milestones in the development of products and services in the Zillertal Arena, but will also have a positive impact on the entire region.

NEW FROM WINTER 2025/26: MODERNIZATION OF THE ROSENALMBAHN

We are excited to enhance the comfort and attractiveness of the Rosenalmbahn through modernization, ensuring its long-term excellence for our guests.

Key Facts about the Modernized Rosenalmbahn:

Level Walk-In: A barrier-free, comfortable entry enables smoother and quicker boarding and alighting for our guests, especially families with strollers, wheelchair users, and cyclists, who will find access significantly easier.
Unchanged Route in 2 Sections to the Rosenalm: The route will remain the same, offering seamless access to the beloved Rosenalm in two sections.
New 8-Seater Cabins (Omega IV/8): The new, modern 8-seater Omega IV/8 cabins provide more space and comfort, allowing for faster and more efficient transport.
Upgraded Electronics and Control System: Complete renewal of the electronics and control system will ensure an even safer and more reliable operation.
Partial Modernization of Stations: Station areas will be partially modernized to optimize the guest experience during boarding and improve operational efficiency.
Transport capacity: 2,620 people per hour

Shortened Summer Season in 2025
The Rosenalmbahn will be operational from June 7, 2025, to August 31, 2025, after which the necessary construction work will commence. We recognize that this will impact the upcoming summer season, but the work is essential to secure long-term operations and to offer an even better experience to our guests in the future. The winter season 2025/26 will start as usual in early December!

State-of-the-art sustainable snowmaking

In the summer of 2025, the Gerlos ski lift centre invested around 12 million euros in modernising its snowmaking system. This involved the construction of the new Ebenfeld 2 reservoir, the renovation of Ebenfeld 1, an energy-efficient pumping station and the renewal of around 7 km of pipelines – an important step towards greater snow reliability, efficiency and sustainability in the Zillertal Arena.
