The Top 10 Freeride Lines in the Zillertal
The absolute finest ski descents in one of Austria's most famous valleys!
Freeride Skiing Difficult, Severe, Extreme
Description
Picking only 10 descents from the 1000s of possibilities in the Zillertal is a tricky assignment - but someone's got to do it! The valley is home to a lifetime's worth of adventures on skis, foot and bikes but if you've only got a few winter days - rather than a few decades - to explore, these routes are the ones to do.
The Zillertal is probably best known for being home to Mayrhofen - a truly legendary ski town for good reason - and home to this little lot - /discover/guidebook/4188.
Even further down the valley is Hintertux - one of the only 2 resorts in the World (the other being Zermatt - /discover/guidebook/13004) which offers skiing 365 days per year - and is and a great place for some high altitude, mellow freeriding - /discover/guidebook/4189.
Perhaps the least known of the valley's resorts is Hochfügen but for those in the know (which now includes you - /discover/guidebook/4076) it's arguably the best off-piste ski area in Zillertal.
Suffice to say that if you make it to the Zillertal, you won't be short of ski adventures, whatever the weather and wherever you go!
