Winter fun in the most active valley in the world - your winter holiday in the Zillertal!
These are the coolest winter activities in the Zillertal
The Zillertal isn't called the most active valley in the world for nothing. Even in winter, action-packed experiences are on the agenda. Every winter fan will find something to their liking!
Are you ready for an action-packed winter holiday in the Zillertal?
Always so spoiled for choice! We have to tell you one thing right away: It's not that easy to decide what to do first in the Zillertal in winter. After all, there are so many cool winter activities! We've put together a short summary for you. This way, you can keep track and easily create your personal to-do list for your winter vacation at the Explorer Hotel. Sounds perfect, right?
This is what our PERFECT winter week in the Zillertal would look like
Day 1: Skiing
Of course, you'll want to go skiing during your vacation at the Explorer Hotel Zillertal in Kaltenbach. The Zillertal Arena stretches from Zell im Zillertal via Gerlos to Wald-Königsleiten and Krimml-Hochkrimml.
147 kilometers of slopes and 52 lifts offer fun on the slopes for skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels.
Day 2: Ice climbing
You can climb countless icefalls of all levels of difficulty in Zillergrund or Zemmgrund. Don't have any ice climbing experience? No problem, the experienced mountain guides won't let you down. It's best to take a taster course at Actionclub Zillertal.
| Location | Distance |
| Actionclub Zillertal | 18.2 km - 20 min./car |
Day 3: Ice skating
Of course, a little Frozen atmosphere is a must. And honestly, you're never too old for ice skating. If you disagree, we can chat about it over a drink at the bar 😎. But back to the important thing: You can glide comfortably on your skates at the KABOOM leisure center, for example.
| Location | Distance |
| KABOOM | 0.5 km - 1 minute walk |
Day 4: Snowtubing
You shouldn't miss snow tubing on your winter vacation in the Zillertal. The tubing runs in the Gerlosstein ski area are available to you free. And the best part: You can repeat the run as many times as you want until you get dizzy ;)
| Gerlossteinbahn Opening Hours | Phone |
| 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. | +43 5282 2275-11 |
Day 5: Snowkiting
On 13,000 square meters of ice, you can whizz across the snow on Achensee without any obstacles. Are you new to snowkiting? That's okay, because the kite school "Snowkite Achensee" offers introductory kiting and will equip you with the appropriate equipment. Now all you need is the right wind conditions ;)
| Location | Distance |
| Achensee | 30 km - 34 min./car |
Day 6: Action fun to finish
Imagine admiring the snow-covered Zillertal mountains from above. It's actually possible! Experience unlimited freedom, for example, with the Action Club Zillertal. You'll surely rave about this experience long after your winter vacation is over ;)
| Location | Distance |
| Action Club Zillertal | 18.2 km - 20 min by car |
Day 7: Wake up tired muscles
The Erlebnistherme Zillertal in Fügen has something for everyone across 1000 m². The little ones can enjoy action and adventure in the wave pool or water games, while adults can relax their muscles in the wellness and sauna area.
| Location | Distance |
| Fügen | 5.7 km - 8 min./car |
