Zillertal Mountain Road (Zillertaler Höhenstraße)

While Mayrhofen is primarily a walking village, the Zillertal Mountain Road offers a scenic driving experience for those looking to explore the higher reaches of the valley by car or motorbike. This panoramic road, accessible from several points in the valley, climbs to altitudes of over 2000 meters, offering breathtaking views of the Zillertal Alps. It's a fantastic way to reach remote hiking starting points, traditional alpine huts, or simply enjoy the landscape. The road is typically open from late spring to late autumn, depending on snow conditions, and sometimes requires a toll. It is a serpentine road with many viewpoints and photo opportunities along its approximately 48 km length.
