Skiing is at the top of the to-do list for a winter holiday in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. Seven small yet exquisite ski resorts with 143 kilometres of pistes and 57 mountain lifts eagerly await winter sports enthusiasts. The individual areas are connected by buses - so skiers and snowboarders can easily hop from area to area and explore the most diverse slopes. Make the most of the sunny family pistes of the Ehrwalder Alm ski resort, the Wetterstein ski resort, or the family slopes on the Marienberg in Biberwier. There’s also skiing fun to be had with a view of the Zugspitze on the Grubigstein in Lermoos or on the pistes between Berwang and Bichlbach.

In the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena, sporty skiers can look forward to ideal conditions, but so too can leisure-minded skiers and families with children! Depending on a skier’s proficiency, there are levels from green (for absolute skiing beginners) to black (experienced skiers who want to specialise in mogul skiing or freeriding, for example). Of particular interest to beginners: the Blueline XXL on the Grubigstein is nearly ten kilometres and is one of the longest blue slopes in Austria. 

Skiing enthusiasts are not the only ones who will discover suitable activities in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. The region is a true insider's tip for cross-country skiers: at the foot of the Zugspitze there is a 131-kilometre network of trails for both classic and skating.

The routes are varied and suitable for ambitious skiers as well as for leisure-minded connoisseurs. For those who prefer to go on foot instead, the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena offers 60 kilometres of cleared winter hiking trails where hikers can enjoy the landscape and also stop for a leisurely break at a hut or restaurant.

Snowshoes are a great way to get away from cleared paths and into the midst of nature. Whether together with guides or on their own, holidaymakers can immerse themselves in the unspoilt winter landscape. 

Those keen to round off their day in the snow in a more active way can choose from a wide range of activities.

For instance, free torchlight and llama hikes take place weekly in Lermoos and Biberwier.

If you fancy more action, you can race down the night-time pistes or toboggan runs several days a week. 

The Tiroler Zugspitz Arena lies directly at the foot of the Zugspitze. At 2,962 metres, it is the highest mountain in Germany and the highest peak in the Wetterstein massif.

The border between Germany and Austria runs along the ridge. The first cable car, the Tyrolean Zugspitze cable car, was constructed on the Zugspitze as early as 1926. Today, you can reach the summit in about 10 minutes. On clear days, the view from the panoramic viewpoint area extends as far as the Grossglockner or Piz Bernina mountains or even Munich.

The "Faszination Zugspitze" adventure museum provides a lot of information on the history of the mountain. 

Admittedly, in Tyrol most delicacies are enjoyed in summer and winter. In winter, there is almost always a pot of restorative beef soup on hand to quickly get you warmed up and invigorated after a day's skiing.

Nevertheless, Tyroleans love Spätzle, Kaiserschmarrn shredded pancake, Tyrolean dumplings, fresh produce, tender beef, smoked ham and everything else that is typical of Tyrolean cuisine throughout the year.

In addition to traditional dishes, the region's award-winning chefs are keen to spoil you with all kinds of delicacies. For example, you can also enjoy sushi, burgers or homemade chocolate, if that's what you're in the mood for.

Creativity here in the Alpine region is writ large.
Experience the wide selection of lovingly prepared delicacies for yourself.

A good glass of wine or a Jagertee (hot tea with alcohol) always enlivens the menu.
