Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set off on a hike straight from my accommodation?
Yes. Paths through meadows and woods around Göttstätt and Hippach start right by the accommodation. So for many walks, you can simply leave your car behind.
Which walks are suitable for families with children?
For families, the easy trails around Hippach and the hiking trails on the Penken are particularly suitable. The Penken Panorama Circular Trail is especially family-friendly and can easily be tackled even with children.
Where can I find walks with places to stop for refreshments?
In the Mayrhofen-Hippach hiking area, there are numerous trails leading to mountain huts and alpine pastures where food and drink are served. This means you can perfectly combine your hike with a cosy stop for refreshments and regional Tyrolean specialities.
Do I need any special kit for hiking in the Zillertal?
For easy walking trails, sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are sufficient. For longer mountain hikes, we recommend good footwear, plenty of water, sun protection and checking the current weather conditions. More challenging hikes require sure-footedness and mountain experience.
