You feel the infinite scope up here. Mountaineers have almost limitless opportunities to do just that at the farther end of the Zillertal.

Alpine wilderness

Mayrhofen-Hippach is located at the foot of the Alpine natural preserve "Zillertaler Alpen", the entrance to a pristine and extraordinary mountain landscape. In the preserve, public roads, helicopter flights and ski lifts are not allowed at all. The area, which was already known as "Zillertaler Hauptkamm", has been specially protected since 1991. The year 2001 saw the conferment of the special attribute "natural preserve", an internationally known preservation category.
The natural park encompasses an area of 372 km² between 1000m and 3510m above sea level. If you want to hike through the entire area, it will take you seven days.

Rugged scarps, glaciers and summits

Eight mountain refuges, numerous 3000-meter-tall mountains with their rugged scarps, and a unique flora add to the character of this alpine mountain landscape.
In addition, rare animal species have found a home here and , for the past 150 years, have been able to live in harmony with hikers, mountaineers and Nature lovers.
