News from the Zillertal Arena

Standing still is going backwards. For this reason, the Arena cable car companies are not resting on their laurels, but have set themselves ambitious goals for the next few years: long-awaited projects will be implemented in the coming months, which will not only represent milestones in the development of products and services in the Zillertal Arena, but will also have a positive impact on the entire region.

NEW from winter 2024/25: 8-seater chairlift Teufeltal
