From the picturesque village of Zell am Ziller through traditional mountain villages up to idyllic Gerlos – in the heart of Zillertal, the holiday region winds its way from the valley to the mountaineering terrain. This overall composition results in a highlight for families and all active mountain overs.
Peace and seclusion, imposing mountain scenery, idyllic hiking tours, action-packed bike tours and downhill trails. In short: You can find everything here in summer! The Zillertal Arena motto is therefore also fitting: Have fun in the sun! Maybe that’s why Zillertal beer is brewed here in Tyrol’s oldest private brewery ...
So it’s only logical that the BrauKunstHaus itself is an exciting destination. But while we’re on the subject of looking at things: the regional museum, the Maria Rast pilgrimage church and the Zillertal gold mine are also worth seeing! But in summer especially, Zell- Gerlos attracts with a real explosion of outdoor options! There is, for example, the Durlassboden reservoir with its varied range of leisure activities: surfing, swimming, pedal boating and fishing – with cosy barbecue facilities on the shore. The Talbach via ferrata, in turn, provides just as much of an adrenaline rush as the impressive Gerlossteinwand via ferrata, the breathtaking Riederklamm climbing garden or the spectacular high ropes course.
And the leisure park Zell offers fun for absolutely everyone: gold diggers’ playground for the little ones, adventure mini golf and bouldering for the active holidaymakers, fun court, slacklines, beach volleyball and outdoor pool for sports enthusiasts and those seeking relaxation. The same applies to Abenteuerland Gerlos: forest playground, tree houses and trampolines make children happy. Sports enthusiasts will enjoy the archery course, the MTB practice
Zell am Ziller is located in the heart of Zillertal, the perfect starting point for a variety of skiing days throughout the valley. Gerlos lies at 1,300 metres – guaranteed to be snowy and idyllic. The small Gerlosstein ski hill o!ers both families and enthusiasts fun on the slopes, free snowtubing on specially maintained tracks and a seven-kilometre-long toboggan run, which is illuminated until one o'clock at night, with a pleasant place to stop for a bite to eat.
