Strass im Zillertal

Strass im Zillertal is a village in the Austrian Tyrol, located at the entrance to the Zillertal valley, close to Jenbach and near the Ziller river, which joins the Inn in this area. Its position makes it a convenient gateway to the valley's better-known resorts, such as Zell am Ziller, Mayrhofen and Fügen, while offering a quieter, less touristy setting. The typical Tyrolean mountain surroundings allow for a range of outdoor activities: hiking in summer, winter sports in the neighbouring resorts, and pleasant walks along the Ziller river. The region is also known for its local narrow-gauge railway, the Zillertalbahn, which runs through the valley and is a popular attraction. Those keen on Tyrolean cuisine will find traditional inns nearby serving local specialities such as Speck and Kaiserschmarrn. Strass im Zillertal is particularly well suited to travellers seeking a practical base for exploring the Zillertal, combining unspoilt nature, alpine traditions and easy access to the region's main road and rail routes.
