The ski lift system
4 / 5  Good
The Zillertal Arena has to be one of the best intermediate ski and snowboard areas in the Alps. Beginners are better off at Hochkrimml, whilst the route between Zell am Ziller and Gerlos is one of the most spectacular you can find in the right conditions with some great off-piste

Great and authentic Austrian valley town. Zell is a working town and has a range of facilities. Prices are generally good.
