Photographers in the Zillertal

The Zillertal runs deep into the Tyrolean Alps, from the wide valley floor around Fügen and Zell am Ziller to Mayrhofen and the side valleys beyond. At its far end lie the Hintertux Glacier, skiable all year, and the Schlegeis reservoir, set among the peaks of the Zillertal Alps.

It is one of Austria’s best-loved holiday valleys, and many couples come here for weddings in traditional hotels and huts or for elopements at a high-alpine lake. Families on holiday book relaxed sessions in the meadows, and the valley’s chalets and apartments are often photographed for rentals.

When to go

From June to October the high-alpine roads, reservoirs and huts are open, the meadows are green and evenings are long. Autumn brings golden larches and clear air. Winter turns the valley into one of Austria’s largest ski regions, with snowy villages and the glacier ensuring snow from autumn to spring.
