Zillertal:
Activities,
Excursions &
Sightseeing . 

In between, there are unforgettable sights and excursion destinations for young and old to discover throughout the Zillertal. Excursions to real natural spectacles, living history and the whole diversity of the most active valley in the Alps inspire in the summer and in the winter in their very own way.

 


While summer invites you to get out and experience nature in a variety of ways and with all your senses – from sporty to pleasurable – winter enchants you with warm Advent markets and winter-white snow flurries. All year round, there are museums and exciting cultural legacies from days long gone to explore. Towards the end of summer and in autumn, you can enjoy living customs with traditional events and culinary delicacies that you can only find here in the Zillertal. Two cards – the Superskipass in winter and the Aktivcard in summer – become your key to the entire valley, numerous sights and excursion destinations. Experience the Zillertal in your own way – endless variety and the whole diversity of nature during your holiday in Mayrhofen.

Discover the Zillergrund, the picturesque Stilluptal, the Zemmgrund and the Tuxer Tal and dare to look far beyond the horizon – at a world that is as real as it is natural. As impressive as it is adventurous.

Countless majestic mountain flanks, glaciers and an incomparable diversity of nature.

Mayrhofen. Where it all begins.

Mayrhofen naturally has a whole chapter dedicated to it. After all, this is where our Resort Hotel Neuhaus is located, and where are roots are. In Mayrhofen in the Zillertal, ancient buildings provide historic charming houses like the Strasser Häusl, where the world-famous Christmas carol "Silent Night, Holy Night" was first performed by the Strasser children. In the "Erlebnissennerei" (Alpine Dairy Experience), you can experience the cheese-making process up close – and cheese is as much a part of the Zillertal as the mountains are of the Alps. High above Mayrhofen on the Penken at over 2,000 metres is also the eagle stage, the highest eagle station in Austria. Get to know eagles, buzzards and more at this unique location.
