Mayrhofen and Hiking: Guided, alone, with children or with dog .
Hiking is... getting up close and personal with the Zillertal Alps, gathering impressions of nature and returning with a rucksack full of memories.
Even though it's hard to put a figure on the wealth of experiences hiking around Mayrhofen, the 1,400 kilometres of hiking in the Zillertal are something to be proud of. What is even more important are the many impressions you gather on every single one of these kilometres. The closeness to nature, the many highlights and encounters with nature. The silence in the midst of untouched nature. The scent of fresh forest meadows, tree tops and fresh moss. The grandiose feeling when you finally stand at the top, next to the summit cross, and Mayrhofen and the Zillertal lie at your feet. Hike off and let your feelings guide you. With your Resort Hotel Neuhaus in Mayrhofen, the hiking experience begins right at your holiday home. Start hiking and discover hikes from easy to challenging, hikes with children or with your dog and let yourself be inspired by the diversity of the alpine world.
