Hiking Tour |
For hikers and climbers, there’s no better guide in the Zillertal than Peter Habeler and his Mount Everest mountain sports school. The Mayrhofen native and his friend Reinhold Messner were the first to scale the Mt. Everest summit without the aid of oxygen. Today, the expert guide shares his expertise with visitors to his home valley.

Bicycling |
Innsbruck remains one of Europe’s most outdoorsy cities,and its adventures span all seasonal sports. In summer, mountain bikers take to over 100 km of designated trails along the Nordkette range, and the new Nordparktrail free-ride run drops 1,040 m between the Seegrube and Hungerburg mountains – a huge hit with technical riders.

Adventure Sports |
Although we’ve stuck mainly to mainstream sights in our coverage of the Oztal, visitors wishing to take part in more adrenaline-pumping activities will find no shortage of company in the Ötztal. The valley’s youthful clientele comes here for canyoning, bungee jumping, whitewater rafting and kayaking – and this is one of the main outfitters to help them find the fun.
