Schlegeis Alpine Road & Reservoir

Leading deep into the Zillertal Alps, the Schlegeis Alpine Road is a stunning scenic drive or a challenging cycling route, ending at the majestic Schlegeis Reservoir and its impressive dam. The road itself is an attraction, featuring several hairpins and offering spectacular views. At the dam, visitors can take guided tours inside the dam wall, enjoy the panoramic restaurant, or participate in adventurous activities like the 'Schlegeis 131' via ferrata directly on the dam wall or the 'Flying Fox'. The area around the reservoir is also a popular starting point for high-alpine hikes, including routes to the Olpererhütte (the trail is excluded, but the starting point can be mentioned). The road is typically open from late May to late October, subject to snow conditions, with a toll fee for vehicles.
