Ski apartments typically range from €5,500 to €7,500 per square metre. You can find 1-2 bed apartments in Gerlos for €300,000 - €500,000.

Gerlos is an excellent investment for buyers seeking high rental occupancy. Because of its altitude (1,247m) and position in the snow-reliable Zillertal Arena, the winter season is long, often stretching from early December to Easter.

Most new properties in Gerlos are sold with a rental obligation which is strictly enforced in Austria’s Tyrol region. This ensures that there are few ‘cold beds’ and all touristic properties are professionally managed. Net yields are strong - typically around 3.5% to 4.5%. The resort’s reputation for vibrant nightlife also attracts a younger, affluent demographic that keeps occupancy high outside of the peak school holiday weeks.

Gerlos is known locally as the "village in the sky". Unlike most Tyrolean resorts located on the valley floor, Gerlos sits high up on a mountain pass. This gives it a unique alpine feel where you are in the mountains rather than looking up at them.

It is also the social heart of the Zillertal. While families love the wide slopes, Gerlos is famous for having some of the best après-ski in Austria. Yet, just a few minutes away lies the serene Durlaßboden Reservoir, a spectacular high-alpine lake that makes Gerlos a true summer watersports destination, offering swimming, sailing, and pedal boating at 1,400m altitude.
