Ski-in/ski-out

Gerlos is a high Zillertal village strung along the road to the pass; many hotels sit by the lifts on the snow-front for easy ski-in/ski-out.

Get to know the resort

Gerlos sits high on the road to the Gerlos pass, the central village of the Zillertal Arena, which links with Zell am Ziller and KΓΆnigsleiten for 143 km of sunny, varied piste. At 1250 m it holds snow well, and the broad, well-groomed runs suit families and intermediates, with the whole Zillertal Superskipass on the doorstep. Quieter and snowier than the valley-floor resorts, it is a smart base for skiing the wider Zillertal.
