Ski holidays in Austria
Gerlos and the Zillertal Arena delivered a big, big powder day today. Zell am Ziller had similar snow but the low cloud conditions were best in Gerlos where the sun broke through for some good periods. The powder snow was superb. Check out our latest snow report from the slopes of Gerlos today:
There was a [...]
I was back in the Zillertal Valley yesterday and for those who like cold air, new snow and superb views then it would have been a day to remember. I am not sure of the temperatures out of the sun but the fresh snow under ski was squeaking, as were my fingers as I adjusted [...]
Just back from the Zillertal Arena and saw Gerlos après ski at its best - snowing heavily, europop après ski mixes, Glühwein stands and the mountain lit up in the distance - it was a great sight. The lifts were running today in Gerlos and for those up there it was certainly a great powder [...]
Just back from Zell am Ziller in the Zillertal Arena. If you haven’t been, change that soon - it is one of the best kept secrets in Austrian skiing. I personally rate alongside the Arlberg as the best ski region in Austria. It is very different to the Arlberg and very varied. The fundamentals are [...]
The case for suggesting Axamer Lizum, Innsbruck has the best skiing in Austria might be professional suicide – we pride ourselves in offering the very best information we (as a company) can give – to suggest Axamer Lizum ranks with the best skiing in Austria is fanciful. St Anton am Arlberg, Lech am Arlberg, Gerlos, [...]
One of the themes that we feature on the new Skiing Austria website is the ‘best skiing in Austria’. We think that the best ski holiday resorts in Austria are Lech, St Anton, Stuben, Neustift, Solden, Konigsleiten, Gerlos and Zauchensee. There are some very big names in Austrian skiing clearly missing from this list and [...]
The TV weather channel here in Austria complete with its accompanying Volksmusik is showing a very white landscape across Austria. The Zillertal Arena resorts of Gerlos and Konigsleiten are continuing to see heavy snow as are the Zell am See - Kaprun and Saalbach-Hinterglemm regions. The Kitzsteinhorn Glacier looked in great shape whilst all the [...]

Lifts are set to roll in the biggest ski area in the biggest ski valley in Austria – the Zillertal Arena. The Zillertal Arena resorts of Zell am Ziller, Gerlos, Konigsleiten and Hochkrimml open for action on the 5th December. The following weekend there is a musical extravaganza with none other than DJ Moped. If [...]
Gerlos in the Zillertal Arena served up quite incredible conditions back in Dcember 08. Cold and sunny with some great new snow. Gerlos is well off the radar for most non Dutch and German skiers and snowboarders and that is the case for the Zillertal Arena itself. I have to say after having skied the [...]
At the heart of the Zillertal Arena, Gerlos offered great skiing both on and off-piste, whilst the terrain around Wilde Krimml that links the ski areas of Gerlos and Zell am Ziller had some of the most spectacular scenery that you will see; all on Boxing Day 2008. For intermediate skiers and snowboarders, Gerlos and [...]
