    More about the activities in Mayrhofen

  • So what's it like?

    Mayrhofen, one of Tirol's prettiest and liveliest resorts, is framed by the awe-inspiring scenery of the majestic Zillertaler Alps and commands an excellent location! Here you'll find easy access to superb walking and on selected dates you can join our dedicated walking escort on our Austria Walking Weeks. The village centre boasts rustic bars and relaxed and inviting pavement cafés line the streets. Summer months bring festivals of folk-singing and dancing, as well as colourful processions and brass-band concerts, keeping the wealth of local traditions alive.

    Why not experience the best that the Zillertal has to offer with the Mayrhofen Discovery package? Including excursions to Innsbruck, Krimml Waterfalls and Kitzbuhel, Rattenberg and Achensee with a Candle Lit Walk and a Horse and Carriage Ride. Staying at the Chalet Haus Tirol. 'Mayrhofen Discovery Package'

    Relax and discover

    Local culture: In the Ziller Valley farming is still important in local life. Festivals such as 'Sonnwendfeuer' (June) and 'Almabtrieb' (Sept/Oct) are still celebrated and 'Dorffest' are usually a great opportunity to see and sample the meats, cheeses and schnapps on offer at a farmer's market.

    Walking: There are over 200km of walking routes in the Ziller Valley including many in the heart of the stunning 390km² Zillertal Alps Nature Park. For serious hikers, routes in the valley can be as challenging as you'd like. If you want something a bit more easy going try taking one of the summer lifts to give access to the 'panorama trails' at 2000m- great views at a minimum effort.

    Adventure sports: The imposing mountains around Mayrhofen are a climbers paradise from beginners to physically demanding overhangs of the extreme cliffs. Really test your head for heights and venture deep into the forests, swinging from the tree tops at the 'Go Ape' course. For a really adrenaline buzz jump, swim and abseil your way through a gorge in canyoning.

    Evening atmosphere: Enjoy the understated but diverse nightlife with live music from Tirolean folk music to modern acoustic, salsa and rock performances.
