IN LOVE WITH THE ZILLERTAL ALPS
Mayrhofen in the Zillertal – A place steeped in tradition
Once upon a time, many centuries ago in the Zillertal, in the County of Tyrol, there was a beautiful place that had not yet been given a name. Where the four ancient side valleys of Zemmtal, Stilluptal, Zillergrund and Tuxertal meet, the massive mountain ridges of the Alps spread out to form a magnificent basin. Many a wanderer crossing the Alps from north to south must have been given pause here to imagine what a wonderful place this would be to settle down.
Today, the village of Mayrhofen crowns this very spot, 633 metres above sea level, in the midst of the mountains. The stories of Zillertal have been shaped over generations – a living history embodied by the steam-powered Zillertalbahn railway, which has guided visitors from near and far through this picturesque valley since the late 1860s. An unforgettable holiday with stories steeped in tradition and a unique original charm – thriving throughout the centuries amidst the Zillertal Alps, in the heart of Mayrhofen and, of course at the ZILLERTALERHOF.

The glacial backdrop of the Zillertal Alps
Thick forests and sunny mountain meadows, crystal-clear water and an impressive natural diversity of wildlife and plants. The breathtaking natural scenery of Zillertal was formed over millennia, as ice ages and huge glaciers moulded the valleys into their current shape. Through their rock faces, waterfalls and alpine pastures, the Zillertal Alps tell their story to visitors hiking in the High Alpine Nature Park.

Zillertal Alps High Mountain Nature Park
First things first: the Zillertalerhof is an official nature park partner and actively supports the preservation of this unique landscape. The nature park covers 422 km² and ranges from around 1,000 metres above sea level up to 3,510 metres.
If you want to explore the entire area, you can go on a seven-day hut-to-hut tour. Numerous three-thousand-metre peaks, imposing rock faces and unique alpine vegetation make this hike an unforgettable experience.
In summer, the nature park also offers regular guided hikes with nature park guides. These provide fascinating insights into geology, flora and fauna. With a little luck, you may even spot ibex, marmots or eagles along the way, almost like a mini safari in the Alps.
