Advanced skiing/powder snow skiing Zillertal Arena – Zell am Ziller/Gerlos/Königsleiten/Hochkrimml
Königsleiten is the place for freeriders. There are lots of powder snow runs around the Königsleitenspitze. There are also many wide slopes in the Wilde Krimml and on the way to the Kapaunsbahn lift. Lots of difficult slopes throughout the entire Zillertal Arena also attract experts. The black runs at the Falschbachbahn lift and the black valley run to Zell am Ziller are particularly interesting. The valley run to Zell am Ziller is part of the Höhenfressertour. From the Übergangsjoch, a 10-kilometre-long slope leads all the way down to Zell am Ziller taking in 1,920 vertical metres on the way. The longest valley run in Austria is a black slope from the Wiesenalm onwards.
