Welcome to Zillertal

Children & family

Many Zillertal vacationers come back every year. They are already regulars in the valley, often staying in the same guesthouse or in the same hotel over and over again. And there are those guests who have been coming to the Zillertal for generations. They have recognized that the valley has something to offer for young and old, young and old. Regardless of whether you have been a Zillertal fan for many years or are coming to us for the first time, you will quickly see that children and family are very important here. While some hotels have specialized in families, the little ones are welcome guests in almost all of the hotels. There are standard equipment for children (cot, high chair, etc.), and our own animation team ensures that everyone feels comfortable. Accommodation and menus suitable for children are a matter of course in the Zillertal. And the varied leisure program will make the hearts of the little guests beat faster. In addition, the Zillertal is well equipped with playgrounds. (Outdoor) swimming pools in almost every location and event highlights keep boredom out of the way.

Are you on vacation with your family? The following offers await you and your children:

Children on the mountain

Most mountain railways offer the little visitors fun and games in the form of spacious playgrounds, so it is always worth taking the gondola. The Ice Palace and the Glacier Flea Park on the Hintertux Glacier in particular are very popular, and the Spieljochbahn has a children's climbing garden, barefoot path and “monster scooters”. The Adlerbühne and the sensory games on the Ahorn in Mayrhofen are also a must-see. The "Murmelland" on the Zilleraler Höhenstrasse is very popular with children.

No problem - ask your landlord or local tourist office, an experienced babysitter will be happy to arrange for you. There is a guest kindergarten with a baby crib in Mayrhofen, and an entire children's area with professional care and a varied program in Tux.

There is also a lot to see and do for young people. The 'M-Town-Bowl' in Mayrhofen is the largest skate park in the valley, the leisure park in Zell offers beach volleyball, an outdoor pool, fun court, mini golf, tennis and much more. There is also a 'Gotcha' park - in the mountaineering village of Ginzling. Gerlos has its own leisure program especially for teens, the 'Teenie Action Program'.

Children's ski courses

Skiing has to be learned! The Zillertal ski schools are known for their quality. In every region of the Zillertal there are several ski schools that offer children's ski courses. In addition to learning the basic skiing techniques, the focus is on having fun. All ski areas offer significantly reduced ski pass prices for children and young people. There are several very flat children's lifts for the very young skiers.

Attractions with children

Children's playgrounds can be found in every village. The natural playground "Wasserwelt Brindlang" in Mayrhofen with water games and mini golf course nearby, the playground in Schlitters, which impresses with its variety of play equipment, and the adventure playground in the Zell amusement park are highly recommended. In Tux there is the "adventure trail" - this family route combines an easy hike through the valley with numerous play options. Action is offered on the Arena Coaster, the only summer toboggan run in the Zillertal.

Whether summer or winter - there is no boredom for the children in the Zillertal. Many facilities and attractions have discounts for children; Children up to the age of six hardly pay admission anywhere. The program for families and children is varied, from the train ride with the Zillertalbahn, the adventure on the mountain and in the valley, the sporting offers and also the professional child care in your accommodation - you will be able to relax completely on vacation, while your children adventure after adventure experience. For the Zillertal, the well-being of the smallest guests is paramount - after all, they are also the guests of tomorrow!
