Summer Vacation in Tyrol

For an active vacation in Tyrol, many guests deliberately choose the early season in June or late summer starting in late August. During this time, you’ll find perfect conditions for hikes, bike tours, and all kinds of outdoor activities in the mountains and in the valley—without any of the hustle and bustle of the high season.

For families with school-age children, planning your summer vacation early is essential. Our family hotel, Das Kaltenbach, is particularly popular, offering spacious suites, apartments, and self-catering chalets—ideal for a relaxing vacation with plenty of space. Since we book up quickly during peak season, the earlier you inquire, the better.

Hardly any other region in the Alps offers as much variety as the Zillertal. In the summer, a diverse range of activities awaits you for all age groups—from leisurely to adventurous. Highlights of a summer vacation in the Zillertal:

• Leisurely hikes along the valley floor and on scenic trails
• Cycling & biking—from the Zillertal Cycle Path to single trails and bike-and-hike tours
• Family adventures with playgrounds, climbing gardens, and nature experiences
• Outdoor activities ranging from paragliding to forest bathing
• Refreshment at mountain lakes, waterfalls, and alpine streams

Kaltenbach is the perfect home base for your mountain summer in Tyrol: centrally located, close to nature, and ideal for discovering new summer adventures in the Alps every day.

That summer feeling in the Zillertal usually starts as early as May. Thanks to the favorable topography—with a wide valley floor at around 550 m above sea level—you can expect plenty of sunshine and pleasant summer temperatures even in the spring—ideal for enjoying the first warm days in a T-shirt or even swim trunks.

As early as early summer, the valley reveals itself in all its splendor: lush green meadows, a colorful sea of flowers in the valley, and snow-capped mountain peaks above—a dreamlike backdrop for your summer vacation in Tyrol. The summer season in the Zillertal usually lasts until mid-September. During this time, you’ll find perfect conditions for hiking, biking, family vacations, and active recreation in the Tyrolean mountains—and the Zillertal is one of the most popular destinations for a varied summer in the Alps.

The weather in the mountains is always a bit of an adventure—and even in Tyrol, right on the main Alpine ridge, the effects of climate change are noticeable. That makes it all the more delightful that there are only a few classic hot days during a summer vacation in the Zillertal.

Thanks to the unique microclimate of our nature hotel, Das Kaltenbach, you’ll enjoy a pleasantly moderate climate here—ideal for anyone who wants to stay active in the summer or is traveling with babies and toddlers. Young families, in particular, appreciate the fresh mountain air and the milder temperatures.

Prolonged rain is rare in the Zillertal. And if a rainy day does happen to come along, our family hotel in Tyrol provides plenty of games, fun, and variety—so no one, not even children or teenagers, will get bored.
