Holidays in the Zillertal Valley

Unforgettable skiing and
hiking holidays in the Alps

The Zillertal Valley is one of the side valleys branching off the Inntal Valley, surrounded on all sides by the majestic mountains of Tyrol. The 32km valley is lined by the Zillertal Alps and the Tux Alps and stretches from the village of Strass all the way to Mayrhofen, where it divides into four smaller side valleys known as Zillergrund, Zemmgrund, Stillupptal and Tuxer Tal.

The highest peak in the valley is the Hochfeiler (3509m), which offers great views of the surrounding mountains – well worth the hard work of hiking all the way to the top!

Friendly people, plenty of great activities and stunning natural surroundings make the Zillertal Valley the perfect destination for your next summer holidayHikers can look forward to exploring more than 1000 km of trails, while other activities popular during the warm months of the year include mountainbiking, rock climbing (indoors and outdoors), paragliding and rafting. The Zillertal Valley also hosts traditional celebrations such as the ceremonial cattle drive when cows are brought down from the high pastures at the end of summer.
After all that action and adventure, there is no better place to relax than the ZapfenHof with its large spa and natural outdoor swimming pool.
