As one of the most popular excursion destinations in all of Tyrol, the Zillertal is much visited by outdoor sports enthusiasts in both winter and summer. The large selection of tour options and the truly magnificent setting are captivating. The alpine landscape shows one of its most beautiful sides here.
If the Zillertal itself is the holiday destination of many travellers, you should not limit your mountain bike tours to it, because there are also some great peaks and remote valleys all around that want to be explored.
In the centre of the region, Fügen is a wonderful starting point. From there you can set off on a real round trip on the trails. For example, a challenging MTB trail leads from Fügen into the neighbouring Alpbach Valley. Or you can pedal hard and cycle to the Spieljoch with a detour to the Geolsalm and Gartalm.
Further south, Zell am Ziller and Mayerhofen are absolute mountain bike strongholds. From there, countless tours start into the surrounding mountains. Flowing single trails, challenging mountain bike routes with steep climbs as well as beginner-friendly panoramic trails await you here. On the Great Penkentour you will climb up to 2100 m over a distance of 40 km! Respect whoever overcomes the total of 1991 metres in altitude and makes it to the summit of the Penken.
The popular Bike Trail Tirol, a circular route through the region, also leads through the Zillertal and gives you the most beautiful impressions of the valley formed by the glacier.
