The Zillertal – holidays among mountains, nature and adventure
In the mountains
They say Uderns has the freshest air, the most sunshine and the best opportunities to fill your holiday heart with memories. Die Zillertalerin is right in the middle of it. The apartment house is perfectly placed for day trips all year round: the best skiing and hiking areas, the golf course and the valley are practically on your doorstep. Slip into comfortable shoes and off you go.
Active days
Between the summit cross and the Finsingbach stream, a whole world of sport opens up: the 18-hole golf course on 65 hectares, the Erlebnistherme Zillertal spa, the adventure park in Kaltenbach and the skiing and hiking areas of Hochfügen-Hochzillertal and Spieljoch. The Zillertal offers more variety than your holiday has days.
Summer in the Zillertal
Water & fun
Sunshine belongs to summer just as holiday happiness belongs to the Zillertal. If you need to cool down after hiking or cycling through the impressive landscape – because of the heat or because the family fancies a refreshing adventure – you will find what you are looking for here. Leisure facilities and water worlds throughout the valley promise fun and relaxation.
Steam train
Travel back in time! Feel the atmosphere of old steam trains, the clatter of the rails and the smell of coal. Marvel at steam locomotives more than 120 years old, driven by fire and mountain water. Listen to the hiss of the cylinders before a whistle signals departure!
Alpine roads and side valleys
At its far end the Zillertal splits into several side valleys, each with a charm of its own. These valleys, known locally as “Gründe”, give the upper Zillertal its special appeal with a breathtaking mountain backdrop. This is also where you enter the Zillertal Alps Nature Park, with peaks above 3,000 metres and a wide choice of hiking trails.
Summer cable cars
Whether you prefer gentle walks in the valley, want to explore the most untouched corners of the nature park or take one of the ten summer cable cars up towards the peaks – there is something for every taste. The choice ranges from action-packed activities to quiet retreats, from culinary treats to alpine highlights, from fun for children to exciting adventures. Hiking, cycling, climbing, golf or even a visit to the glacier in summer – all this and more awaits you in the Zillertal.
Winter in the Zillertal
Skiing & snowboarding
Step out of the gondola and swing your skis over your shoulder. The snow sparkles in the sunlight and crunches under your boots with every step. You look out over the wide winter landscape, click into your bindings – and off you go. Skiers and snowboarders find pure enjoyment here, on leisurely carving slopes, long sporty runs down to the valley or challenging pistes for experts.
Tobogganing
Every toboggan ride in the Zillertal means adventure, sport and pure fun. A total of 48 km of well-prepared toboggan runs, 28 km of them floodlit in the evening, make for unique experiences – perfect for night tobogganing! In bright sunshine or under a clear starry sky, a toboggan ride followed by a cosy stop at a hut simply belongs to a perfect winter holiday.
Winter hiking
The snow crunches under your feet while the sun tickles your face. It is a typical day in the Zillertal, with air so crystal clear that the nearby mountain ranges stand out against the sky like fine paper cuttings. The winter hiking trails here are prepared as carefully as the ski slopes, which makes walking a real pleasure!
Snowshoeing
The wide Zillertal with its many hidden corners holds truly wonderful routes. Especially when the snow glitters in the sun, a walk through the winter landscape becomes an unforgettable experience.
Cross-country skiing
A rhythm you simply have to follow, and the feeling of being completely at one with yourself. It is the perfect break from everyday life, body and breathtaking nature in harmony. More than 113 kilometres of trails in the Zillertal invite you to glide through the snow. Beginner or advanced – with so many levels of difficulty, there is a trail for everyone.
lies strength
Indoors, too, you can see and feel nature. There is a scent of local wood, and the mountains lie right outside the window – a treat for the senses. Put your feet up after a hike and trust in the power of cosiness. Enjoy having nothing you must do and everything you could.
