You’ve skrimped and saved all year for this special ski trip. Are you going to let it be ruined by lousy snow? Certainly not. Luckily, there’s a resort that stands head and shoulders above the treeline, with over 80% of its slopes above 6,000ft. That resort is Zillertal, perched in the rarefied heights of the Austrian alpine area. Located in one valley and spread across four separate ski areas – Hochzillertal-Hochfügen-Spieljoch, Zillertal Arena, Mountopolis and the Gletscherwelt Zillertal 3000 – it’s one of the most snow-secure ski areas in Europe. This was evidenced last year when Zillertal was one of the only ski destinations that could operate until late into the spring season.

But there’s more to Zillertal than its outrageously good snow. There’s a little something for everyone here. Spanning a total of 340 miles of slopes, Zillertal offers pure downhill enjoyment. Whether on splendid family trails or long, sporty valley descents, Zillertal provides ideal conditions and perfectly groomed slopes for all winter sports enthusiasts. For those seeking adventure, numerous snow parks, action-packed lines, and exceptional freeride routes await.
