Piste map of Zillertal Arena
The piste map of Zillertal Arena shows how the ski area stretches through several interconnected villages in the Zillertal, from Zell am Ziller via Gerlos and Königsleiten to Hochkrimml, on the border between Tirol and Salzburgerland. The 150 kilometres of piste and 52 lifts are spread between 580 and 2 500 metres of altitude, so the map draws a clear distinction between the easier skiing down in the valleys and the steeper, more open sections higher up towards the peaks. One detail that stands out is how Zillertal Arena on the map is only part of the considerably larger 546 kilometre network covered by the Zillertal Superskipass, which means that cross-border outings to other resorts are marked as natural continuations.

How to ski in Zillertal Arena
Zillertal Arena stretches through several villages in the valley, from Zell am Ziller via Gerlos and Königsleiten to Hochkrimml. Beginners and families will find their slopes right by the lift stations in each village, where the terrain is open and gentle. Blue runs make up almost half of the entire network, so there is plenty of room to practise without being forced out onto the faster pistes higher up.
The higher you climb towards the top of the ski area at 2 500 metres, the steeper the slopes become. The red sections, a quarter of the piste network, lie mainly on the open flanks above the tree line, while the black runs, a tenth of the area, are found in the narrower and more weather-exposed corridors closest to the peaks, often on the sides facing away from the villages.
The lift systems of the various villages link up so that you can travel through the whole of Zillertal Arena without taking your skis off, from Zell am Ziller at one end to Hochkrimml at the other. A single day is rarely enough to shuttle back and forth through all the villages, but a circuit taking in two or three of them works nicely. Zillertal Arena is also only one part of the considerably larger 546 kilometre Zillertal Superskipass network, so anyone who wishes can carry on further out into the valley.
The vertical drop between the valley villages at 580 metres and the peaks at 2 500 metres is substantial, which means snow quality can differ markedly between morning and afternoon at the bottom. It is best to take the lower stretches early, before the sun has softened them, and save the higher sections for the middle of the day, when the lift stations in the most central villages tend to be at their busiest.
