Location and how to get here

The village of Gerlos is situated in the Gerlostal, a side valley of Zillertal, at an altitude of 1,246 metres. Munich and Salzburg airports are approx. two and a half hours away by car and Innsbruck approx. one and a half hours. In addition to travelling by car on the Bundesstraße B165 (toll coming from Salzburg), you can also reach Zillertal really easily by public transport. The nearest train station for national and international train connections is Jenbach station. There are regular scheduled bus services and the Zillertalbahn train runs to Zell am Ziller from there, where you can then take the Christophorus bus to the high mountain valley of Gerlos.

Plan your route

Traffic and Arrival Information for Guests

The (toll) detour traffic via the B 181 Achensee Road towards the Inn Valley consistently causes significant traffic issues in the affected Achensee region up to Wiesing on the main travel days in winter.

Plan ahead - Before starting your journey, use a Route planner to find the optimal path for your drive. Ensure you select the option for the fastest route without excluding any roads or allow your car's navigation system to choose the best route - including toll roads. This helps save time and contributes to alleviating congestion on heavily used detour routes like the B 181 at Achensee. The toll required for the use of the A12 is digital and available as a day pass (€ 8.50 for cars - see https://www.asfinag.at/maut-vignette/vignette/).

Getting here by air

Innsbruck (50 km), Munich (170 km) and Salzburg (150 km) airports are not far from Zillertal and Pinzgau and are directly connected to destinations throughout Europe by daily scheduled flights.
