Located about 30 miles East of the bustling mountain city of Innsbruck, the Zillertal area is a paradise for hikers, bikers and adventure seekers, as well as visitors who appreciate the more laid-back aspects of a holiday in the mountains.
The more than 1,400km of marked hiking trails include a route for every kind of walker, from gentle rambles through alpine meadows and along lakeshores, to rugged high altitude treks up to the snowy peaks. There are also various themed itineraries to experience the best of the area on foot, taking in everything from the local flora and fauna to waterfalls and the area’s history and culture.
Plus, if you like to explore on two wheels, the 1,300km of cycling and mountain bike paths offer you the chance to explore the surrounding landscapes from a unique perspective. You can start on the valley floor or take your bike up the mountain on one of the 10 summer cable cars, where you’ll find wide, winding pathways, challenging singletrack and everything in between.
Adrenaline junkies will also never be bored in Zillertal. Take on paragliding, via ferrata, high ropes courses, bouldering, white water rafting and more. You can even ski all year round on the nearby Hintertux glacier!
For a slower pace, try a tour of some of the region’s atmospheric mountain huts and sample the culinary delights of the area, take a dip in a pristine mountain lake, go fishing, ride the Zillertal steam train or visit a spa for some relaxation.
The Hotel Tirolerhof is a family-run, 4-star hotel located in Tux-Lanersbach, between the Eggalm and Rastkogel ski areas. This welcoming hotel has modern alpine décor, two spas – one for the family and a rooftop spa that’s adults only – which include saunas, hot tubs, a swimming pool and offer massage treatments.
There is also a great restaurant which highlights local produce on the menu, a new wine bar and a cosy bar area which invites you to try one of the Tirolerhof’s 43 gins!
