.: winter in the Alps :.

Our guesthouse is located just 250m from the ski area Zillertalarena - Gerlosstein.

 

Why Gerlosstein is highly recommended:

Skifahren, Snowboarden auf top präparierten Pisten; bei guter Schneelage Talabfahrt bis vors Haus skiing, snowboarding on well groomed slopes; if snow conditions allow it the valley run leads nearly to our house.

keine Wartezeiten und keine überlaufenen Pisten hardly (if) any waiting times and no crowded slopes

7km lange Naturrodelbahn (Tag- und Nachtbetrieb, Beleuchtung am Abend, Rodelverleih) 7km toboggan run (operates day and night, illuminated at night, sledges can be hired)

kinder- und familienfreundlich family-friendly

Charme eines zwar etwas kleineren, dafür umso feineren Schigebiets not as big yet superb and charming

 

The larger ski areas can easily be reached either by car or by free-of-charge ski busses (bus stop is only 250m from our house). All in all the Zillertal region offers more than 600km slopes and cross country slopes for you to enjoy and has more than 167 top notch gondolas and ski lifts. Numerous Après Ski Bars, alpine taverns/lodges and umbrella bars invite you to take a snack or drink!
