Holidays in Tauferer Ahrntal

The magic formula in the side valley of the Pustertal is: pleasures, familiar ambience and activities. Here, older and smaller adventures by land and by sea are waiting for you, as well as countless walking and hiking tours through a unique mountain world.

All year round, the sunny south side of the Zillertal Alps presents itself with a lot of magic, diversity and an incomparable atmosphere, thanks to the 84 3,000 m high peaks surrounding the Tauferer Ahrntal with an impressive rampant.

The inhabitants of the Taufers valley are particularly friendly and kind-hearted. Their rhythm of life mainly follows the course of the seasons, as nature determines everyday life in this valley.

Green holiday paradise

The Tauferer Ahrntal is a particularly green valley with a nearly unspoilt natural landscape. The 31,500 m2 large Nature Park Rieserferner-Ahrn embraces two countries and surprises with wonderful pastures, a breath-taking diversity of flora and fauna, impressive glaciers and magnificent peaks. In the inviting alpine huts, you are pampered with typical specialities. Moreover, mountain bikers and cyclists benefit from a well-established network of routes.

Culture lovers should absolutely visit the ancient Prettau mine, various museums and the Taufers Castle. In the disused mine, you also find a climatic gallery, where persons with a lung disease may enjoy therapies.

Rafting tours on Ahr river or paragliding are ideal for adventure-seeking vacationers. The natural swimming pond in Sand in Taufers offers a magnificent refreshment after long hiking and biking tours.

Traditional autumn

When it is time for the shepherds to bring the cattle back to the villages, autumn is not far away in the Tauferer Ahrntal. The traditional transhumances are still an important event in many localities, celebrated with traditional feasts. The beautifully decorated cattle and their attendants are joyfully welcomed in the valley. Afterwards, a typical popular feast with traditional specialities and music attracts many visitors.
