General information

Gerlos is one of the most famous and popular destinations for a ski holiday to Austria. That’s no surprise since Gerlos is one of the highest places in the Zillertal ski region and has a legendary après-ski scene. You can easily reach an altitude of 2,500 metres there, giving the area guaranteed snow. In the Zillertal Arena alone, which includes Gerlos, you can enjoy 143 kilometres of slopes. With more than 50 ski lifts in the area, all of the slopes are easily accessible. This allows you to make fun day trips from village to village throughout this beautiful area. There are plenty of spots for lunch right by the slopes too. Bring on a ski trip to Gerlos!
