Winter transforms the Zillertal into a true paradise for snow lovers. With over 542 kilometres of pistes, 180 lifts and countless ski areas, the valley is one of the most popular winter sports destinations in the Alps. Skiers and snowboarders will find perfect conditions, while cross-country skiers and snowshoe hikers can discover the snow-covered landscape in their own way. Toboggan runs, winter hiking trails and ice skating rinks offer variety for the whole family. And if you want to take it easy, you can stop off at one of the rustic mountain huts and warm up with a hot drink. Winter in the Zillertal is synonymous with snow-covered mountains, clear winter air and cosy get-togethers after a day in the great outdoors. And the coolest thing is: the coolnest is right in the middle of it all! The nearest ski resorts, Mayrhofen Horbergbahn (3 km) and the Zillertal Arena in Zell am Ziller (5.7 km), are just a stone’s throw away. From Mayrhofen you can ski or snowboard to the Eggalm just before Hintertux, from Zell am Ziller you can explore all the pistes as far as Gerlos and Königsleiten and from Kaltenbach-Hochzillertal to Hochfügen you can check out the best pistes. The longest toboggan run in the Zillertal is located on the Hainzenberg, not far from the coolnest. Where do you want to go today? Our coolnest shuttle, the ski bus or the Zillertalbahn will take you there!
