Skiing from Uderns
Uderns sits exactly between two major entrances to the Zillertal ski network: the Fügen cable car and the Kaltenbach gondola, both about ten minutes by car or ski bus. With the valley pass you then command 628 kilometres of pistes and 146 lifts, between 565 and 2946 metres.
That central position makes planning simple: the area above Fügen one day, the high terrain above Kaltenbach the next, and for variety Zell am Ziller, Mayrhofen or the glacier at the back of the valley. Everything falls under the same ski pass.
Snow reliability around Uderns
Uderns sits low on the valley floor, so snow in the village is not a given outside midwinter. For the skiing that is no problem: the areas you ski from here lie largely at altitude, with the valley network up to 2946 metres and up to 158 centimetres of snow in recent winters.
The Zillertal lift companies make snow on a large scale, keeping the main pistes dependable all season. In December and March you preferably plan your days in the higher areas; the glacier at the back of the valley offers the absolute guarantee.
The village of Uderns
Uderns is a small, good-natured village with a church, a few shops, restaurants and guesthouses among the farms. The village also has a golf course that in winter turns into a silent winter landscape with walking trails and cross-country tracks across the flat valley.
There is no après-ski; for evening entertainment you drive to Fügen or further up the valley. The mood is one of calm, space and personal hospitality. Uderns is the kind of village where you hear the church bell in the morning and see the stars at night, with the big ski areas as neighbours.
Who is Uderns for
Uderns suits families, couples and small groups looking for an affordable, quiet home base with maximum flexibility: two major ski area entrances within ten minutes and the whole valley on the pass. The starting price of 599 euros per person is sharp for the Zillertal.
Beginners make a short trip to the practice terrain at Fügen or above Kaltenbach; advanced skiers exploit the central position for variety. If you come without a car or want entertainment every night, Fügen or one of the lively villages further up is more practical. With 3 accommodations, the supply is limited.
Practical: getting there and booking
Uderns lies a good quarter of an hour from the Inntal motorway: a day's drive from the Netherlands or Belgium, almost entirely on motorways, with a short, flat approach into the valley. The Zillertalbahn stops in the village and ski buses run to the base stations.
With us you book from 3 accommodations starting at 599 euros per person. Book early for school holidays; outside those, Uderns is one of the places where you can often still find space when the famous villages are full, at friendlier prices too.
