Eagle at the maple
The eagle stage on the Ahorn high above Mayrhofen is Europe's highest bird of prey station. At an altitude of over 2,000 metres you can experience aerial acrobatics from real natural talents. Get up close and personal with eagles, eagle owls, buzzards and falcons and let Didi Wechselberger take your breath away. The eagle tamer of the Ahorn performs magnificent works of art with his protégés.

Falconer Didi Wechselberger knows eagles and prey birds like no other and lets you participate in the fascinating world of these graceful birds of prey. The eagle stage is one of the activities that you should not miss on your holiday in Mayrhofen in summer.

With the steam locomotive through the Zillertal
The Zillertalbahn in itself, connecting Jenbach with Mayrhofen and the many adventure destinations along the way, is a real sight in itself. Many decades ago, part of the railway was built on the property of great-grandfather Moigg the visionary ancestor of your hosts. He contributed significantly to the development of the region. You can learn even more about the history of Mayrhofen and the Zillertal on one of the round trips with the bright red panorama train, which strolls slowly through the valley. The departure point for this informative round trip is the Mayrhofen market square.
