Few areas can match the Zillertal in the Austrian Tyrol for a first alpine season. Well-formed peaks, good trails and some of the best huts in the Alps make it ideal for experienced hikers and mountaineers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found two classic hut-to-hut routes, both of which can be done in eight to ten days, with the option of adding day hikes from the huts to climb local peaks on both sides of the border, including Zillertal's highest peak, the Hochfeiler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to go?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Snow can persist on north-facing slopes well into July. Mid-July to mid-September is warmer and more settled. The summer alpine season starts when the huts open from mid-June to the end of September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
