Hiking holidays in Austria

Trails that clear your head. And fill your heart.

Watching the first light touch the mountain peaks in the morning. Breathing in the scent of flowering meadows and aromatic wood. And leaving everyday life further behind with every step. When you go hiking around the Gaspingerhof, your adventure begins right on the hotel doorstep. Leisurely stroll, scenic summit tour or family-friendly panoramic trail – hiking in Gerlos shows summer in the Zillertal from its very best side.

Alpine hiking in the Zillertal Arena

Step by step towards happiness

Slip into your hiking boots full of anticipation, breathe in the cool mountain air and head out: In the Zillertal Arena, over 400 kilometres of perfectly waymarked hiking trails await nature lovers and adventurers. Along the way, you can take a leisurely break at one of 40 huts and mountain inns, often with truly spectacular views. “Gerlos schenkt dir Gipfel” – and the mountain lifts take you straight up. With the Isskogelbahn in Gerlos and the Dorfbahn in Königsleiten you can easily reach (and with the Free Mountain Card Gerlos at no extra cost) the most beautiful high-altitude trails.

Five valleys. Countless trails.

Gerlos is a little paradise for anyone looking for variety when hiking.

Sometimes you simply follow the course of the stream in a relaxed way, sometimes you head up high to soak up the panorama. Set off on your own personal nature adventure right from the doorstep of our hiking hotel in Gerlos in the Zillertal Arena. Here you can decide anew every day where the path will take you. We promise you: You will always make the right choice.

The loveliest souvenir: the memory of a sunrise in the mountains.

Hiking with the family

Out and about together – little adventures for young and old

Hiking in Gerlos also means: Experiencing nature with the whole family. Themed trails such as the yodelling trail in Königsleiten, the animal nature trail or the ErlebnisReich adventure trail make walking exciting and playful. Many routes are suitable for pushchairs and inspire even the youngest explorers to make their first discoveries in the forest and on the alpine pastures. This turns every hike into a small adventure for the whole family.
