Gerlos in winter

As well as skiing and snowboarding fun in Zillertal Arena, in winter Gerlos has so much more to offer.

Our little guests in particular will be delighted with the children's play paradise in the snow, right next to the hotel – you can arrange snowball fights with all the family here, build snowmen or whiz across the snow on a snow disc or Skibob.
