A valley apartment, a hotel beside the Dorfbahn or a chalet near the Filzstein lifts: where you stay shapes the start of your ski day. These ten properties cover Zillertal Arena's four main bases, from a traditional village inn to spa hotels and places with their own kitchen.
Zell am Ziller suits visitors who want shops, restaurants and the railway nearby. The Rosenalmbahn and Karspitzbahn are outside the village centre, so choose between walking, the ski bus and driving. A Zell address does not automatically mean a slopeside stay.
The central Dorfbahn and the Isskogelbahn are separate lift bases in Gerlos. Match your hotel location to your ski-school meeting point. Gmünd is outside the centre, where the ski bus becomes a more important part of the day.
Königsleiten is a mountain village around the Dorfbahn and the pistes. An apartment near the lift can work well for families or groups. Wald im Pinzgau is down in the valley and is a different base.
Hochkrimml sits on the Gerlosplatte and has several accommodation areas. Both properties below are in Filzstein. Check the full address: Krimml village is down in the valley, where you need transport to reach the skiing.

Getting to the lifts and pistes
Take the ski bus opposite the hotel to Zell's valley stations, or drive. A hotel shuttle is also available for a fee.
Things to consider

Getting to the lifts and pistes
You can walk to Zell's lift base and start at the Rosenalmbahn or Karspitzbahn. There is no piste to the apartment door.
Things to consider
The outdoor pool is a summer facility. Choose this property for apartment space rather than a swim after a winter ski day.

Getting to the lifts and pistes

Things to consider

Getting to the lifts and pistes
The Dorfbahn is within walking reach and the piste runs by the hotel. Skiing to the property depends on snow and piste opening.
Things to consider

Getting to the lifts and pistes
Ski-in/ski-out at the Filzstein pistes in Hochkrimml when snow, lifts and pistes allow. The teaching area is beside the hotel.
Things to consider
This hotel is up the mountain in Hochkrimml. A booking address showing only Krimml does not mean it is in the valley village.
A Filzstein Resort chalet with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen. A fireplace and sauna give a shared stay more private space than separate hotel rooms.
Three bedrooms
Private kitchen
Sauna
Getting to the lifts and pistes
The Filzstein lifts are within walking distance. Start on the Hochkrimml side; snow and opening conditions determine the connection to the pistes.
Things to consider
One bedroom combines a double bed with a bunk bed. Check the sleeping layout if several couples are sharing the chalet.
