Culinary delights in the Zillertal

Zillertal
Feel the Freedom

White slopes, bright sun rays and tasty food in a post-card perfect mountain panorama - Welcome to Tirol's Zillertal!

A holiday in Zillertal feels a bit like visiting friends. This might be due to the many traditional, family-run hotels and inns. Or perhaps it is because visiting Zillertal is so effortless: The region’s snow reliability and short lift waiting times mean you won’t have to worry about a thing. Plus, there’s always a cosy hut nearby.

Zillertal is one of the leading winter sports destinations in the Alps. No matter if you are looking for a challenging black piste, a leisurely descend with postcard-perfect views or a beginner-friendly descent, you'll surely find your dream slope here. Love a bit of adrenaline? Head to the snow parks or go free riding. And if mindful activities are more your cup of tea, enjoy hikes, tobogganing or cross-country skiing amidst unspoiled nature.

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!
