Slope breakdown
Zillertal Arena at a glance
Zillertal Arena is a ski area in Austria with 150 km of marked slopes served by 52 lifts. The lifts reach 2,500 m from a lowest base of 580 m, a vertical of 1,920 m.
Those figures describe the whole linked network, not one village. All 2 bases on Intski sell the same skiing, which is why each of their pages shows 150 km and 52 lifts. Choosing between them is a question of altitude, atmosphere and price rather than terrain.
The graded pistes break down as 50 km easy (33%), 88 km intermediate (59%) and 12 km expert (8%). It is an intermediate mountain: most of the network is red. Gradings count marked piste only, so off-piste terrain does not appear in them.
An adult day pass starts at 82 EUR for 2026/27. The first planned opening is Gerlos on 4 December 2026.
Slope figures come from the resorts and their operators; the difficulty breakdown follows the published piste statistics for this area (source).
Where to stay in Zillertal Arena
Every village here sells the same 150 km of slopes, so the skiing is not what you are choosing between. This is what is: the altitude of the village, the sector on its own doorstep, when it opens and what a day costs.
| Gerlos | 1,250 m | 2,500 m | 150 km | 4 Dec 2026 | 82 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zell am Ziller | 580 m | 2,500 m | 150 km | 4 Dec 2026 | 82 EUR |
Village altitude is the base of the lifts at that village. Own sector is the slope kilometres the village has before you ride into the rest of the network. Day pass prices are adult walk-up rates and each carries its own season; see the lift pass price index. Opening dates are checked against the operators' own pages on the opening dates page.
