The Best Hiking Trails in Zillertal Arena

If a full day out high above the Zillertal cruising between a lake and possibly the best tree playground in the World (seriously!) sounds like your thing, then this is the hike for you....

With its maze of paths and huge views across the central part of the Zillertal, the Rosenalmbahn gondola - accessed from Zell am Ziller - is a great place for a stress-free hike....

This is a great hike for those new to the area who want to stretch their legs and get the lie of the land. Even if you know the region like the back of your hand, it's still well worth doing for the views alone....

A classic summit hike, this is a wild trip turned into a half day excursion thanks to a well-positioned lift. The route begins from the top of the Isskogelbahn cable car, which comes up from the quiet little town of Gerlos....

Starting and finishing in Königsleiten - itself a pretty quiet place in summer - this is about as wild as non-technical one day hikes get. From Königsleiten, leave the village northwards on a good path and descend into the lower part of the Salzach valley before climbing up next to a forest to reach a jeep track....
