Activities in the Holiday Region Zillertal Arena
With its roughly 2.000 inhabitants on an area of 2.4 square kilometres, Zell am Ziller is the heart of the Zillertal valley. It is the most important village of the valle in many aspects and is surrounded by mountains on every side. These mountains have something to offer for everybody: it could be hiking, walking, climbing, mountainbiking, paragliding, or much, much more.
Hospitality has a long history in Zell: sources from as early as 1428 indicate Italian travellers mentioning the good food and accomodation in Zell. It's not just the hospitality that has a long tradition, though: Zell is also home to the oldest private brewery of Tirol and hosts Austria's largest and most important traditional spring festival at the first weekend of May every year.
