Speedy skiing, snow tubing and night tobogganing – discover action-packed Zillertal

Zillertal spans four spectacular regions – Fügen-Kaltenbach, Zell-Gerlos, Mayrhofen-Hippach and Tux-Finkenberg – with 180 lifts transporting you across 544 kilometres (338 miles) of powder-soft slopes.

The Zillertal Superskipass is an all-in-one ticket offering access to all four areas and includes public and ski-bus transport across the entire valley. Passes can be activated from two to 21 days to suit your trip.

Across Zillertal, cosy huts sell warming hot chocolates and hearty Tyrolean meals – don’t miss the kasspatzln egg noodles topped with grated cheese and fried onion – and with over 80 restaurants and lodges serving everything from gourmet meals to rustic light bites, there are plenty of options to refuel after a long day on the slopes.
