Easier Walks:
5 to 7˝ miles on good paths through valleys and high meadows.
Up to 1,200ft of ascent in a day.
From Mayrhofen itself you can use the lifts to reach the beautiful meadows of the Penken or Ahorn, both rich with wild flowers and with excellent views of the valley below. Also close at hand are the pretty Alpine villages of Brandberg and Finkenberg, while further afield there are many enjoyable walks in the Ziller, Tux and Zemmgrund valleys, surrounded by the imposing peaks of the Zillertal Alps.
Harder Walks:
5˝ to 10 miles with some steep and rough ascents to summits and cols.
Up to 3,100ft of ascent in a day.
Mountain walkers will be spoilt for choice with a huge range of higher routes available. We’ll aim to ascend a number of summits including the Karspitze, Torregenkopf and Gerlossteinwand and also enjoy a high-level traverse above the Upper Ziller Valley to the Plauener Hut. At the head of the valleys you can see the mighty glaciers at close quarters and ascend to a high col on the Italian border.
Local transport
On some days the walks start and finish at the hotel. On other days we’ll use the hired transport to explore the surrounding area. The cost of transport to and from the walk is payable locally.
Free day
Each week there is a free day where no guided walks are offered. This is an ideal opportunity to relax around the hotel, walk independently, or visit local places of interest |
