Why this trip
In the Zillertal, alpine meadows, gondolas and glaciers alternate so closely that families rarely have to think long about what comes next. Mayrhofen is a lively holiday resort, known for the steep Harakiri piste, but families use quite different sides of the valley. The Penkenbahn and the Ahornbahn take you up from the village, and for children the gondola ride is often half an outing already. Up top, age and stamina decide whether a short hike, a playground stop or just the view is on the programme.
The Hintertux Glacier offers a piece of winter when it has long been summer in the valley, and is a destination for a day with warm clothing and a clear timetable. The country data name May to October as a good travel time for hikes and mountain railway trips. Innsbruck, Kitzbühel and Saalbach lie within reach as neighbours, in case a day of variety is needed. Which accommodation in Mayrhofen suits your family is best discussed with Swiss Vibes in a video call, before dates are fixed.
