    Chock-a-block with Tyrolean culture and wow-worthy Austrian scenery, holidays to Mayrhofen are a breath of fresh mountain air.

    Cheese by day, hikes by night

    Mayrhofen's brimming with culture, and it sits against a mountain backdrop where snowy peaks graze the skies. Tour a cheese factory or head out on a hike – whichever you choose, you'll benefit from bags of traditional Tyrolean hospitality in this spot in western Austria.

    Tyrolean treats

    Whether you try bacon dumplings or sip a local brew, the foodie options in Mayrhofen won't disappoint. The town's full of restaurants so you can find the best place for a cuisine sampling session. For a different kind of treat, settle down in a spa, browse the local designer boutiques or boogie on down to some traditional tunes.

    Marvellous mountains

    Ditch your hiking boots and catch a cable car to whisk you up to the picture-perfect peaks – simply hop aboard your ride to the skies and get your taste buds ready for warm apple strudel at the top. Once you've gobbled down your hard-earned treat, take a stroll through the mountain-backed meadows – perfect if you feel a The Sound of Music moment coming on.

    Top things to See and Do in Mayrhofen

    • SHOPPING
    • NIGHTLIFE
    • FOOD & DRINK
    • GETTING ABOUT
    • WALKING
    • Bargain Buys

      There's a weekly farmers market that runs throughout the summer between 9am and 1pm, but you can also pick up some bargain local produce straight from the source at the open farms in the valley.

    • Mid-Range Buys

      Mayrhofen has a long stretch of high street with an array of casual clothing and souvenir stores, traditional Austrian-dress shops, specialist food merchants and sports shops selling well-known activewear brands. So if you’re in the mood to treat yourself, you’ll have plenty of choice.

    • Laid-back evenings

      The town is very picturesque and is a wonderful place to go for a gentle evening stroll as the sun goes down, ideally with an ice cream in hand.

    • Lively evenings

      Mayrhofen is a big party town in the winter, but that gets toned right down in the summer months. There’s still a shadow of its alter-ego in that there are plenty of bars to choose from, as well as the occasional spot of live music.

    • Eating out

      There are great restaurants and cafés on every corner in Mayrhofen. Just make sure to try some Zillertaler krapfen (savoury crêpes), and make it your mission to find the best apple strudel in the region.

    • Quality meat at Gasser

      As well as being a traditional butcher's, Gasser, on Hauptstrasse, is the ideal place for a takeaway lunch. The owner, Hans, prepares a variety of delicious dishes from schnitzel bread to ribs.

    • Simple specialities at Café Tyrol

      A short walk down the road is the popular Café Tyrol, a Tyrolean steakhouse serving steaks and the local speciality, tiroler gröstl. The outdoor terrace and salad bar keep customers coming back again and again.

    • Incredible views at Adlerblick

      Over at the Zillergründl Dam, Adlerblick’s outdoor terrace overlooks the reservoir and dam, so it's a must if you're after great views. To enter, you have to walk up a metal stairway, but there's also an alternative roadway entrance. Alongside the portion sizes and atmosphere, Adlerblick is also known for its amazing heisse liebe dessert.

    • On foot

      This small, attractive town has lots of shops and eateries, and can be explored on foot in no time.

    • Trains

      Mayrhofen station is situated next to the Hotel Neuhaus and operates regular train and steam train services to Jenbach. They both stop at several towns in the Ziller Valley along the way. The steam train runs once a day in the early afternoon, and takes an hour and a half to reach Jenbach.

    • Buses

      The main bus station is located next to the train station. The extensive and regular bus service links Mayrhofen to the surrounding valleys, so once you've hopped on a bus it won't be long until you're in the Tux valley, Finkenberg, or at the Zillergrund Reservoir.

    • Summer lifts

      Both the Ahorn and the Penkenbahn cable cars are open throughout the summer, giving you access to the best views of the Ziller Valley. Both will be open from May until mid-October, with the Ahorn running from 8.30am – 5pm, and the Penkenbahn running from 9am – 5pm.

    • Nestled in the Ziller Valley, Mayrhofen is at the centre of over 200km of walking trails. Many of these wind through the Zillertal Alps Nature Park, perfect if you're looking for peace and seclusion. You can also stroll along the Ziller River promenade or take the local bus to Zillergrund and spend the day rambling through remote valleys. There are plenty of summer lifts which ascend directly from Mayrhofen, such as the Ahorn and Penken lifts – so you can soar over Alpine meadows, dotted with flora and mountain cows, and get access to gentle panorama trails with incredible views of the four valleys.

    • Route 50 Brandberg-Ramsau

      This walk has it all – meadows, woodland and breathtaking views, plus places to stop for refreshment along the way. From Mayrhofen, catch the local bus to the small mountain village of Branberg and then follow the signposted route 50. Stop at the Steinekogl hut to take in the stunning views from the veranda and then carry on through fields and woods, surrounded by towering mountains – just don’t forget you camera.

    • The Stilluptal

      The Stilluptal is a beautiful alpine valley hidden among some of the highest peaks in the Zillertal. Catch the minibus to the Grüne Wand Hutte and it’s all downhill from there – in a good way of course. Walk down past cascading waterfalls, wander through pastures filled with cattle and finally come to the sparkling blue Stillup reservoir, which owes its bright colour to the sunlight reflecting off glacial sediment in the water – amazing views and variety for very little effort.
