Zillertal in summer: over 1,400 km of hiking trails, bike routes, via ferratas, and a river made for rafting – the perfect setting for an active holiday

Anyone who’s spent a summer in Mayrhofen knows the feeling: there’s so much going on, you’ll wish you’d booked another week. Hiking, biking, climbing, rafting – all with the Zillertal Alps as a backdrop.

Hiking: from Alpine meadows to mountain peaks 
The trail network around Mayrhofen covers everything from easy valley loops to challenging summit climbs. A classic start: take the Ahornbahn cable car and hike to the Edelhütte mountain hut. The expansive view of Zillertal from up there is one you’ll still be thinking about weeks later. Every fitness level finds its match here, and every trail shows off a different side of the mountains.

Mountain biking: trails for every level
From wide forest roads to technical singletrack trails, Mayrhofen’s biking options match the variety of the landscape. Beginners can cruise the valley on easy paths, while more experienced riders can chase routes with steep descents and tight bends. Even better, the mountain lifts whisk riders and bikes straight to the higher trailheads.

Climbing and via ferratas 
For those who want an extra dose of adventure, Zillertal offers a wide selection of climbing routes and via ferratas in different difficulty levels. Equipped with a helmet and harness, you’ll discover rewarding routes with unforgettable views high above the valley floor.

Rafting fun
If it’s white water you’re after, book a rafting trip on the Ziller. Several local operators take groups through the rapids – it’s an outdoor experience that is equally exciting for families, friends, and thrill seekers.
