Zell am Ziller , Austria

Introduction

Zell am Ziller is situated in the spectacular Zell Valley which is a mere 40 miles from Innsbruck. What you have here is a traditional Austrian village set out over the valley floor with ridable slopes that rise to a respectable high point of 2480m. Zell am Ziller forms part of what is known as the Zillertal Arena which along with resorts such as Gerlos and Konigsleiten/Wald offers some 450km of terrain, and although the 150 plus lifts are not all linked on the slopes, they are linked by a single lift ticket which costs from E115 for 5 days. All the resorts that form part of the arena have something different to offer but in general this area can best be described as suiting intermediate freeriders and piste loving carvers. Zell and its neighbouring resorts are all well designed and spread out giving a nice sense of open space but note, this open space attracts quite a lot of weekend skiers, although in general lift lines are not very big apart from the early morning first gondola ride up from the village. Zell’s terrain is spread out above the tree line offering some wide open runs and some nice off-piste powder areas. Most of the upper runs are graded red, but some of them are a bit over rated and there’s not a great deal for expert riders to ride down.
