Welcome to walking in Mayrhofen

530km+ trails spanning Mayrhofen-Hippach
All abilities, from first-timers to fearless summit-chasers
Hike to one of the Alps' most snapped spots — Olpererhütte.

Hiking holidays in Mayrhofen unlock over 500km of marked trails — and a further 900km across Austria's wider Upper Zillertal — spanning everything from easy valley walks past glittering waterfalls to challenging summit ascents across the Zillertal Alps' High Alpine Nature Park.

Walkers can enjoy gentle valley-floor walks and the Penken Panoramaweg, with lakes, mountain restaurants, and easy lift access.

However, where Mayrhofen really shines is in its Alps hikes: the Berliner Hütte route, the Friesenberghaus, and — for the ultimate bucket-list tick — the 2,388m Olpererhütte hut, with its iconic wooden suspension bridge.
