Family Hiking in the Zillertal

With the summer mountain lifts in the Zillertal, families can easily reach some of the most beautiful hiking areas in the mountains. Whether it’s relaxed panoramic trails, varied circular hikes or alpine hut walks, many routes are perfect to explore with children and teenagers.

Hikes leading to nature playgrounds and mountain lakes are especially popular, as they add extra fun along the way. The Ahornsee at the Ahorn plateau in Mayrhofen or the Fichtensee in the Zillertal Arena are perfect destinations for family hikes. Around the Fichtensee, highlights such as the Fichtenschloss adventure playground, exciting play areas and traditional mountain huts await – and of course a Kaiserschmarrn at a mountain hut is always part of the experience.

This combination of hiking, nature and play creates a varied day in the mountains – a true highlight of a family holiday in the Zillertal.

As a hiking hotel in the Zillertal, host Stephan accompanies guests on guided tours as a certified mountain hiking guide and local expert, regularly exploring the beautiful Zillertal mountains together. The weekly hikes included in the activity programme are free of charge for guests and lead to special natural spots, scenic panoramic trails and traditional alpine huts.

During the family hikes, children and teenagers discover the mountains in a playful way and often return from their adventures with bright smiles and unforgettable memories.

For relaxed hiking days, the hotel also provides hiking backpacks, trekking poles and detailed maps, so families can set off perfectly equipped to explore the Zillertal mountains.
