Tobogganing
Tobogganing is the quintessential winter experience and a fantastic outdoor winter pursuit for young and old. Directly at the hotel, you can even sled uphill: Let the drag lift pull you up the slope and repeat the thrill of the ride as often as you like. Complimentary toboggans are available. The Zillertal’s longest toboggan run in Gerlosstein is 7 km long and floodlit. Enjoy an exhilarating ride and make sure to stop by one of the rustic mountain huts.
Cross-country Skiing
It’s no wonder that cross-country skiing has become increasingly popular in the past few years. Nordic skiing is an excellent full-body workout while spending time outdoors in nature. The Zillertal offers a variety of trails groomed for classic and skating skiing.
Winter Hiking
Especially with young children, even short walks through the snowy landscape can feel refreshing. The crisp air, the joy of playing in the snow, the picturesque landscape… This is pure enjoyment and gives the whole family the chance to relax and slow down. Afterwards, returning to the warm comfort of the hotel is pure bliss.
Snowshoeing
Snowshoeing is a fun activity that’s easy to learn no matter your age or fitness level, and our region provides the requisite trails, powder and pristine winter scenery. Discover this unique way to explore the Zillertal’s snowy landscapes.
What Else?
The region offers a wealth of experiences beyond the ski slopes. Feel the rush of snow tubing on the groomed tracks at Gerlosstein, or enjoy a more romantic pace on a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the breathtaking winter landscape.
For a truly special evening, join a torchlight hike to the illuminated Krimml Waterfalls every Wednesday. If the weather changes, the Leisure Park in Zell am Ziller has you covered with ice skating, bowling, and tennis.
