Gerlos Pass & Alpine Road
Gerlospass · Gerlos Alpenstraße
A scenic road from the Zillertal over the Gerlos Pass to Salzburg State, with views of a reservoir and the Krimml Falls in the distance.
The village of Gerlos, at about 1,250 meters, is one of the central hubs of the Zillertal Arena ski area. Heading east over the 1,531-meter Gerlos Pass leads to the toll Gerlos Alpine Road, which passes the Durlaßboden Reservoir. Viewpoints on the descent offer a view of the Krimml Falls, the tallest waterfall in Austria. The road is open year-round, and the toll for a car is about €13, subject to change on site. The drive from Mayrhofen to the pass takes about 40 minutes and is often combined with the Krimml Falls as a one-day self-drive route.
