Zillertal–Rural, yet comfortable

Zillertall is a lovely resort set between majestic and picturesque mountains deep in rural Tyrol. For a long time, the main industry of Zillertal was coal mining, lending to the pastoral quality of this sylvan land. The natural beauty of Zillertal remains unspoiled, but the main factor in the area is now tourism. Tourists that hear of the unprecedented winter sport opportunities and welcoming atmosphere of Zillertal in particular and Tyrol in general often find their new favorite vacation spot.

One of the villages in the Zillertal valley is Fügen. Fügen is about as unspoiled as Austria gets, and yet as accommodating as you could want. Within the resort, a visitor can find a heated swimming pool, tennis, summer skiing in nearby Hintertux, a summer toboggan run and, in the winter, the valley has 154 ski lifts to different slopes. There is little for an active traveler to desire.

Of course the real reason to come and stay in such a beautiful area is to see the place itself. Zillertal has miles and miles of deep valleys and winding mountain paths to intrigue hikers and bikers. There are mountain and street bicycles for rent and enough trail to keep you occupied for the entirety of your stay, no matter how long.
