Winter in Gerlos

Slopes almost on your doorstep, tobogganing in the evening and cosy mountain huts: we, Margit & Josef, have put together the key information and our personal tips for your winter holiday in Gerlos.

Season 2026/27

The Zillertal Arena is open from 4 December 2026 to 11 April 2027. The Isskogelbahn and the Dorfbahn Gerlos take you up to the slopes in no time, and the ski bus stop is just 200 m from our house.

Our tips

• Go tobogganing on the Gerlosstein – and then stop for a bite at our favourite hut, the Schlittenstadl.
• Cross-country skiing: the trails in the Zillertal Arena are free with the Zell-Gerlos TopCard.
• Relaxed arrival: in winter, the TopCard gets you free rides on the Zillertalbahn from Jenbach.
• Skis and boots stay overnight in our ski room with boot warmers – everything is warm and dry in the morning.
