Zillertal
Embrace the alpine lifestyle

Family-friendly outdoor activities, traditional events and food experiences amidst three-thousanders – welcome to Tirol's Zillertal!

Need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life? Head to Zillertal and get whisked away into a world full of natural wonders and exciting adventures in four different holiday resorts. Tirol's widest side valley sits right in the middle of the Alps, and features stunning landscapes as well as tons of outdoor activities.

Join the locals for a hike or hop on a bike, venture into the High Mountain Nature Park Zillertal Alps or take one of ten summer cable cars right up a summit. And don't leave without exploring the local food and folklore, a major part of everyday life.

Zillertal is a leading destination for active travellers and families alike. But it's the people you'll meet along the way that really make it stand out. The Zillertal lifestyle - or "Lebensgefühl" - can best be described as a zest of life combined with a love for the outdoors, great food, and centuries old traditions that are still celebrated to date.

Live in the moment and make memories for a lifetime - That's what holidays in Zillertal are like!
