Impressive landscape in the middle of the Zillertal Alps

Distance 3.9 km

1:11 h

108 m

With its fjord-like landscape, the Zillergrund offers the perfect starting point for a hike. On the left bank at a few meters above sea level, the path leads along the reservoir further into the Zillergrund. Here is also the source of the Ziller, which gives the Ziller Valley its name. The destination is the Hohenaualm, which is reminiscent of Tibet in the Himalayan mountains, and is therefore also called "Little Tibet".

Author’s recommendation

The "Little Tibet" does not exist anywhere else and gives everyone a small glimpse of the Himalayan mountains.

Destination

Hohenaualm

Turn-by-turn directions

Your journey begins in Mayrhofen, from where you take one of the regular buses to the Zillergrund reservoir. After enjoying the view of the reservoir, you start your hike on the trail towards "Little Tibet". The path leads past the turquoise-green water of the reservoir, surrounded by mighty mountains with steep cliffs. The closer you get to the Hohenaualm, the more the landscape reminds you of Tibet. From a distance you can already see the red, blue and yellow fabrics of the Tibetan flags waving in the wind. A last stretch past small wooden huts and several prayer wheels will finally take you to the Hohenaualm, which is decorated with historical paintings, antlers and milk churns.

Equipment

For an easy tour that lasts a day or several hours, the basic equipment of a hike is enough for you. This includes:

Good and reasonable footwear

Backpack (approx. 15-20l)

Enough provisions: drinks, preferably water in refillable drinking bottles, at least one meal and snacks like energy bars for in between, think also of a small plastic bag for waste!

Proper hiking clothing: avoid sweating too much and hypothermia, pack a light change of clothes if necessary, a jacket should never be missing and possibly rain gear (pay attention to the weather forecast!)

Sun protection: sunscreen, sunglasses and headgear.

Cell phone (charged!) with emergency app, ID card, possibly alpine club ID and cash for the huts

First aid kit, blister plasters and tissues

Hiking poles

Especially as a beginner, your backpack should end up weighing no more than 9kg. The motto is: as much as necessary, as little as possible.
