At the far end of the magnificent Zillertal Arena you'll find this fantastic ski resort. Although it's purpose built, it stil breathes the typical Austrian "gemütlichkeit"! If you want a less crowdy and noisy village (compared to party town Gerlos, for instance), but still well facilitated, this is the place to be. Après-ski is still possible, with the very cosy Schirmbar (party every night!) and several bars and a discotheque. And if you want to have a nice evening in Gerlos, it is just a 20 minute drive.
It's very suitable for families with kids as well, with the piste in the middle of the village and several ski schools for the youngsters.
Because the village itself is set at 1600m above sea level, snow is assured up until the end of March. From most appartments you can just click on your ski's and glide to the Sonnwendkopfbahn to enter the Zillertal Arena, or the Plattenkogel X-press to the Gerlosplatte (this is a very good option late season, it's on the north side and no direct sun on the slopes). Once in the Z'tal Arena you can make wonderful tours to the Gerlos and Zell am Ziller areas. I've been there twice now and it's a great place to spend your holiday. I will return there for sure!!
