Getting About
The train service runs the length of the Ziller Valley and beyond. There is also an extensive bus service connecting the Ziller Valley and surrounding valleys. There is an efficient circuit of cable cars, gondolas, and chairlifts.
Strollers
Several gentle paths lead down the Ziller Valley and the promenade hugs the river as far down the valley as you choose to stroll.
Ramblers
There are a number of higher level walks in the area. Taking the Penkenbahn cable car from the centre of town, you can ascend crossing higher meadows to admire the 4 valleys which converge on Mayrhofen.
Hikers
The Schwarzachtal is an untouched valley with a climb to higher pastures. The view of Brandberg is spectacular from here as it is also from the Rastkogel and Ahornspitze.
