Zell has a century old tradition of hospitality. In 1482 an envoy traveling from Italy to Salzburg recommended a good inn in Zell! Zell is also home to the oldest private brewery and in May it hosts Austria's oldest festival, the Gauder Fest taking place in the first week in May.

Whatever you do, one thing is certain – the magnificent mountain panorama of the Zillertal Arena will stay in your memory for a long long time!

The skiing area “Zillertal Arena” is the largest skiing area of the Zillertal valley and extends from the village Zell im Zillertal via Gerlos to Wald-Königsleiten and Krimml-Hochkrimml. The area offers 143 kilometres of slopes and 52 lifts, where skiers and snowboarders will find a variety of goods for beginners and pros. Skiing to an elevation of 2,500 metres and almost absolute guarantee of snow ensure a perfect winter holiday for the whole family.

Proper winter holidays contain a funny toboggan run with a stop in one of the rustic mountain huts. The natural toboggan run in Hainzenberg has a length of 7 kilometres and therefore it is the longest run in the Zillertal valley. Furthermore it is floodlit until 1.00 o’clock each night (except Sundays). The Gerlosstein cable car enables a convenient transport to the top station, where the toboggan run starts.

Enjoy the winter to the fullest on the longest natural toboggan run, cross-country ski runs and winter hiking trails. The region offers sport facilities of any kind, always surrounded by the stunning mountain scenery. A ride on the thrilling Arena Coaster guarantees the ultimate fun and action.
