	Panoramic Hike

on August 12, 2007

The Bergmahder trail from Brandberg up to Kolmhaus at a height of 1845m is a trail thriugh a cultural landscape that has been used for centuries on the sunny side of the Zillertal Alps. The mountain pastures around the Brandenberg sun village made up the base for agriculture in the nature preserve municipality for a long time. Mown and wild meadows, forests and pastures, lime and ancient rock create the conditions for a rich variety of flora along the Bergmahder trail. Not only will you be rewarded with many a colourful alpine flowers such as orchids or gentians for the laborius ascent, but also the gorgeous mountain view of the Zillertaler Alps.

Sturdy hiking boots mandatory.
Approx 6 hour

Me on a board

Not much to say about this picture. I just enjoyed the pure fun of snowboarding. Fresh snow, empty slopes - that's all you need...

	Spring in the valley

Updated By KaiM

spring impressions

Spring in the Ziller Valley is beautiful. You can still see snow-capped mountain tops while the temperatures in the green valley are already rising. The river Ziller is full of water from the melted snow.

	Chapel on a hill

Updated By KaiM

The small chapel

A couple of hundred meters north of the city exit of Mayrhofen lies a beautiful small chapel. You can reach it by following the river Ziller from Mayrhofen to the north. The chapel is located on a hill. From there you have a great overview of the whole area. See Mayrhofen, the river Ziller and the mountain ranges surrounding the valley. Especially on a sunny day it is definetely worth to take a walk to the chapel at Burgstallschrofen.

	View from the Ahorn

Updated By KaiM

on May 7, 2004

Snowy Ziller Valley

For a nice view across the Ziller Valley and the town of Mayrhofen you should ride the gondola to the top of the Ahorn mountain. Then take the slope that goes all the way back down to the valley. On several occasions on that run you have excellent view points across the region.

Church and fountain

The Church Square in the centre of town is an ideal meeting place, many of the day tripping coaches pick up from here just outside of the Winwin Casino. Also a nice place to sit and people watch.

	Walk along a mountain river

Updated By KaiM

on March 30, 2004

The river Ziller close to
Mayrhofen

The river Ziller gave its name to the whole Ziller Valley in which Mayrhofen is located. From the village of Mayrhofen you can take a walk south at the riverfront. The scenary is nice. When I was there it was already spring in the valley, while the mountain tops were still capped by snow. There is also a cycling path beside the river. Just follow the Ziller down the stream.
