Chock-a-block with Tyrolean culture and wow-worthy Austrian scenery, holidays to Mayrhofen are a breath of fresh mountain air.

Cheese by day, hikes by night

Mayrhofen's brimming with culture, and it sits against a mountain backdrop where snowy peaks graze the skies. Tour a cheese factory or head out on a hike – whichever you choose, you'll benefit from bags of traditional Tyrolean hospitality in this spot in western Austria.

Tyrolean treats

Whether you try bacon dumplings or sip a local brew, the foodie options in Mayrhofen won't disappoint. The town's full of restaurants so you can find the best place for a cuisine sampling session. For a different kind of treat, settle down in a spa, browse the local designer boutiques or boogie on down to some traditional tunes.

Marvellous mountains

Ditch your hiking boots and catch a cable car to whisk you up to the picture-perfect peaks – simply hop aboard your ride to the skies and get your taste buds ready for warm apple strudel at the top. Once you've gobbled down your hard-earned treat, take a stroll through the mountain-backed meadows – perfect if you feel a The Sound of Music moment coming on.

    Top things to see and do in Mayrhofen

    Bargain Buys

    There's a weekly farmers market that runs throughout the summer between 9am and 1pm, but you can also pick up some bargain local produce straight from the source at the open farms in the valley.

    Mid-range Buys

    Mayrhofen has a long stretch of high street with an array of casual clothing and souvenir shops, traditional Austrian-dress shops, specialist food merchants and sports shops selling well-known activewear brands. So if you’re in the mood to treat yourself, you’ll have plenty of choice.

    Lively Evenings

    Mayrhofen is a big party town in the winter, but that gets toned right down in the summer months. There’s still a shadow of its alter-ego in that there are plenty of bars to choose from, as well as the occasional spot of live music.

    Laid-Back Evenings

    The town is very picturesque and is a wonderful place to go for a gentle evening stroll as the sun goes down, ideally with an ice-cream in hand.

    Eating out

    There are great restaurants and cafés on every corner in Mayrhofen. Just make sure to try some Zillertaler krapfen (savoury crêpes), and make it your mission to find the best apple strudel in the region.

    Quality meat at Gasser

    As well as being a traditional butcher's, Gasser, on Hauptstrasse, is the ideal place for a takeaway lunch. The owner, Hans, prepares a variety of delicious dishes from schnitzel bread to ribs.

    Simple specialities at Café Tyrol

    A short walk down the road is the popular Café Tyrol, a Tyrolean steakhouse serving steaks and the local speciality, tiroler gröstl. The outdoor terrace and salad bar keep customers coming back again and again.

    Incredible views at Adlerblick

    Over at the Zillergründl Dam, Adlerblick’s outdoor terrace overlooks the reservoir and dam, so it's a must if you're after great views. To enter, you have to walk up a metal stairway, but there's also an alternative roadway entrance. Alongside the portion sizes and atmosphere, Adlerblick is also known for its amazing heisse liebe dessert.
