One of the most beautiful valleys in Tyrol is Zillertal, home to a particularly charming village, Zell am Ziller. In this healthy atmosphere combined with gourmet food, special buffets, desserts and pastries you'll feel incredibly pampered. Zell am Ziller, ideally located on the banks of the Ziller River, is the perfect start for walks through the valley and higher guided hikes, made possible by the many cable cars and chair lifts in the area. But mostly we'll use a chairlift or gondola to ascend the mountains and then hike down on scenic paths with fabulous views on the snow-covered, distant peaks. Innsbruck is a one-hour drive away and well worth a visit.
All walks are easily possible for walkers in good shape.
May 1 - Oct. 30, daily. Linda Pluss, Palmdale, CA Friendly companions from three nations and the easy biking along a really beautiful river valley and through small Austrian villages, made this one of the best vacations we've ever taken. I highly recommend this tour to anyone, at any age.
