Summer Holidays in Mayrhofen in the Zillertal
Summer holidays here are active, fun-packed, adventurous, relaxing and enjoyable…
The heart of the Zillertal is an area of stunning natural beauty: majestic mountains, gentle meadows, rest areas with unique alpine flora and fauna, fresh alpine air and crystal-clear mountain streams and lakes. Zillertal Alps Nature Park, a protected high-mountain zone covering 379km², is right on your doorstep. An interesting summer activity programme enables you to get right up close to nature with guided hikes on themed paths, llama trekking and more.
Enjoy summer skiing on the Hintertux glacier, the year-round ski area. Spend an impressive summer’s day in powder snow up at 3,250 m where you can almost touch the sky before speeding back down on the 12 km valley run. The Erlebnistherme Zillertal spa and Mayrhofen leisure pool are more fun ways of spending a pleasurable summer’s day here in the Zillertal. Take a ride on the Zillertalbahn steam train, visit the schnapps distillery or the Zillertal dairy.
A further highlight are the many exciting events in Mayrhofen. In the Zillertal, we like to enjoy celebrations. We live according to our culture and traditions. Experience a well-known band taking to the stage, the “Grasausläuten” custom to make the grass grow or a colourful procession as the livestock return from the alpine pastures.
Mountaineers, hikers, mountain bikers and nature lovers alike appreciate the Mayrhofner Bergbahnen's modern lifts, such as the Penkenbahn and Ahornbahn in Mayrhofen with Austria’s biggest gondola lift.
