Why this trip
In the Zillertal the season for hikers begins when elsewhere snow still lies. Mayrhofen is surrounded by mountains opened up by lifts: the Penkenbahn and the Ahornbahn take you to alpine pasture height, and from there paths run over ridges and high pastures. The paths are well marked and suit changing levels of fitness. If you want more altitude, travel to the Hintertux Glacier, where snow lies even in summer.
That is a day for people who like to be out in thin air, with equipment for cold and wind. The Zillertal Arena in the north offers further paths and bike routes. The Harakiri, the steepest groomed piste in the country, also belongs to the resort and can be walked as a hiking path in summer, if the legs are ready. The season lasts from May to October.
In autumn the days are clear, and alpine huts invite you in. Innsbruck, Kitzbühel, Saalbach and Sölden lie close as neighbours. You set the shape of the stages with Adventure in the video call.
