Hike the Ahornbahn : Austria's Largest Cable Car

Hiking destinations simply do not get any better than the Ahornbahn cable car; it whisks you up to over 2000 metres, where a maze of paths and summits - all with the legendary peaks of the Zillertal as a backdrop - await. The quality of the hiking matches that of the scenery and there is truly something for everyone here.

In this guidebook you'll find 5 hikes which encapsulate what the Ahornbahn has to offer. There's an easy stroll, suitable for the whole family, a straightforward summit for beginner hikers, a roundtrip to a Tirolian mountain hut, and 2 big routes to the summit of the Ahornspitze peak, after which the cable car itself is named. As this guidebook proves, you could easily come to the Zillertal for a week and have a fantastic trip by going no further than the Ahornbahn!

If you do decide to venture a little further afield from Mayrhofen then you won't be short of options - the Zillertal really is a mountain lover's paradise, as becomes more obvious the longer you spend there.
