A trip to the 'Aar-Wirt' in the hiking area of Hochfügen is very rewarding, for it is there that you will receive a wonderful welcome and enjoy delicious foods after a long or a short hike during your holiday in the Zillertal. In the Spieljoch hiking area, the Geolsalm, Gartalm and the Kohleralmhof are great places to enjoy a mountain experience which is a little bit different and to bring a day of hiking or cycling to a proper end.

One very special event which attracts thousands of visitors to the Zillertal and the Fügen-Kaltenbach region every year is the alpine cattle drive, renowned for being a colourful spectacle to mark the end of the summer.

It is not just the cows and the sheep which receive a celebratory welcome, the herdsmen and farmers who really look after their animals throughout the year, do too.
