0
(0)
Gerlos is a well-known mountain village located high above the Ziller Valley, offering a classic alpine resort atmosphere. Surrounded by peaks and open meadows, the village is a popular destination for winter sports and summer mountain holidays. The village features traditional chalets, modern hotels, and easy access to ski lifts and hiking routes. Gerlos is ideal for travelers who enjoy fresh mountain air, scenic views, and a peaceful alpine environment

What to See & Do

  • 🚠 Ride the 10-seater Dorfbahn or Isskogelbahn for instant access to the Arena 🏔️
  • 🕺 Party at Cin-Cin, the legendary “beating heart” of Gerlos après-ski 🍻
  • 🥾 Hike through the scenic Schönachtal, one of Gerlos’s five beautiful side valleys 🌲
  • 🛷 Race down the 7km Gerlosstein toboggan run, Zillertal’s longest sledding track 🏁
  • 🎿 Enjoy a “Good Morning Skiing” session at 6:55 AM on select March dates 🌅

How to Get There

  • 🚌 Take the Line 4094 bus from Zell am Ziller for a direct mountain ascent 🚍
  • 🚆 Travel sustainably via the Zillertalbahn to Zell am Ziller before catching a bus 🚂
  • 🚗 Drive the B165 road; remember that snow chains are often required in January ❄️
  • 🚕 Use “Michi’s Taxi” or “Taxi Willi” for convenient late-night village transit 🚕

Travel Tips

  • 🧥 Dress in thermal layers; Gerlos is significantly colder and windier than the valley 🌬️
  • 🆓 Use your valid ski pass to ride the local ski bus for free between lifts 🎫
