Unforgettable autumn days in the golden mountains of Tux

Panoramic views and pure freedom on an autumn vacation in Tyrol

Autumn at the Tuxerhof

When the air turns crystal clear and the larch forests glow in rich shades of gold, the most vibrant time of the year in the valley begins. Hike along 350 km of marked trails in the gentle autumn sunshine or take the mountain lifts for effortless access to the region's most spectacular viewpoints. At the same time, on the nearby Hintertux Glacier at over 3,000 meters, you can already feel the season's first powder beneath your skis. And at the end of the day, warmth, water and relaxation in our heated pools, along with delicious seasonal cuisine.

Tux in Autumn

Autumn is in the air

Autumn in the Tyrolean mountains is a season of contrasts. While you're still enjoying pleasant temperatures in the valley -playing golf, biking, or taking off for a paragliding flight – the first fresh snow is already sparkling on the peaks above. From a gentle stroll to a challenging summit hike, nature reveals itself in a breathtaking display of crystal-clear air and vibrant autumn colours. 

An autumn vacation full of traditions and delights

Zillertal in Autumn

In autumn the Zillertal celebrates its roots. Then the magnificently decorated cows return to the valley during the traditional cattle drive in September and October, the region becomes a vibrant stage of authentic Tyrolean cultrue.

It's the season of harvest festivals, culinary delights and the deep, clear tranquility that now settles over the peaks and alpine pastures.

Autumn trails

In autumn, the trails belong to hikers. Enjoy mild temperatures, quiet paths, crisp mountain air, golden larch forests and views that seem to stretch on forever.

Five mountain cable cars take you effortlessly up to the heights, while you find your own rhythm on 350 km of marked hiking trails in the Zillertal. The experience becomes even more intense when accompanied by our active guides, who will lead you to those hidden spots where the autumn light makes the Alps shine most beautifully.

Wenn im Herbst die Almen ihre Türen schließen, muss auf eine gemütliche Jause unterwegs trotzdem niemand verzichten.
