Summer holiday in Hochfügen Zillertal

Inspired by the mystical magic that emanates from the Tyrolean mountains, the best way to convince yourself of the truth is to visit Hochfügen. In the Zillertal, a total of 1,400 kilometres of perfectly signposted hiking trails await sporty trail seekers and connoisseurs. Whether you just want to go for a walk, plan a pleasant round tour with the family or are planning a real assault on the summit - all needs are catered for here!

Here in Hochfügen you start your day at 1,500 m above sea level - with fresh air and a direct view of the magnificent mountains! No noise disturbs you here and you can rest and sustainably strengthen all your senses.

From easy walks to family hikes to more challenging tours into the high alpine terrain - everything is possible around Montana. For children, there is pure action and freedom in the surrounding area: a large playground, a petting zoo, go-karts, a bouncy castle... there is never a boring moment.

Zillertal Alps Nature Park

The Zillertal Alps Nature Park: a real high mountain nature park! The park extends from the mountain climbing village of Ginzling to the mighty Hochfeiler, so it includes all alpine altitudinal belts.The nature park is also famous for its exceptionally high diversity of species - both animals and plants. Together with other protected areas in North, South, and East Tyrol, the Zillertal Alps Nature Park constitutes the largest association of nature reserves in the Alps.

Scenically, it offers absolutely gorgeous views: deep gorges serve as the entrance to 5 side valleys - here in the Zillertal, these valleys are called "Gründe". The valleys open up into vast pastures.

 

Theme hikes and gorgeous views

Lush meadows and rugged high mountains, glaciers and summits - the landscape in the nature park is just as diverse and fascinating! A few of the important mountains of the Zillertal main ridge are the Löffler, the Schwarzenstein, the Möseler, and the Hochfeiler - with 3.509 meters the highest mountain of the Zillertal alps.

In the nature park, there is a diverse summer program with over 200 guided hikes through the park from May to October. The nature park guides are absolute specialists, and a total of 30 different theme areas are on the program.   An herb hike with explanations about the green treasures found along the path, a hike to the famous Berliner Hütte, wildlife observation – you can see marmots, ibexes, or chamois in the wild here. How about a ranger tour? You can decide yourself according to your mood! For children, there are great program activities such as llama trekking, forest gnome day, or a fun adventure in the Zillergrund.
