 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I am going to Mayrhofen for 9 days before xmas. I'll have a car and I'd like to see a bit more of the Zillertal slopes, so I was thinking about popping over to Gerlos area for a day or two. I drove that road some 10 years ago during the summer and I can recollect that there was a toll to be paid at some point. Is this going to be the case here too? Or will it be included in the price of the Zillertal skipass? Anybody has any first-hand experience?

I drove up to Gerlos from Mayrhofen a couple of times the Christmas before last. No tolls.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

The toll is the other side of Gerlos (as you get to Krimml) so you'll be fine.

The Zillertal lift pass covers transport around the various areas, including the train. It may be you want to drive but it's a bit less of a fuss and a really nice valley to travel along by train. The train doesn't go to Gerlos, you'd need a bus for that but it does go to Zell am Ziller and Kaltenbach. You can also travel up the valley to Lanersbach and Hintertux by bus.

Looking at these wiggles, it's anyone's guess.

Thanks for hints.

Yeah, difficult to spot a toll-booth on these graphs;)

You could also ski from Zell am Ziller to Gerlos (and Königsleiten), which would save you driving up (and down) the hill.

Driving up is quickest way there, it's a bit of a slog there and back on skis.
Bus is fine, but the return times aren't great. From memory 3.15 or 5.30, one's a bit early and the other a bit late. But if it's snowing hard I'd take the bus.

However you travel there it's well worth the effort. Loads to go at and we drove up there in February, definitely no tolls.

Worthwhile driving all the way through to Koenigsleiten as it's the hardest place to get decent ski time if you ski across from Zell Am Ziller

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I want to get there on skis from Zell am Ziller once, just for the adventure. But as you say, it is a bit far out, so I'd like to give it another full day by getting there by car first. Good to know I'll be paying for petrol only.
