A Non-Skier’s Guide to Enjoying Zillertal, Austria

A Non-Skier’s Guide to Enjoying Zillertal, Austria

Not everyone is a fan of skiing, and that’s perfectly okay. If you’re like me—the one person in the family who prefers to skip the slopes—you’re definitely not alone! While your family races down Austria’s famous Zillertal slopes, you can still enjoy a magical winter holiday in the Alps without strapping on a pair of skis. The Zillertal region offers so much more than just skiing, with stunning landscapes, cozy alpine activities, and plenty of ways to relax and explore. To help you make the most of your time, I’ve put together a 5-day itinerary filled with entertainment, relaxation, and adventures designed specifically for non-skiers. So, if your family is planning a skiing trip to Zillertal, don’t worry—you can enjoy a winter wonderland on your own terms. It is possible to have a delightful, slope-free holiday in the Alps. Let’s dive into the plan!

Finding the Perfect Accommodation in Zillertal

Before diving into the itinerary, the first step to a great holiday is choosing the right place to stay. Zillertal offers a variety of options, from charming apartments to luxurious hotels, and finding the perfect accommodation can set the tone for your trip.

Here are my tips and suggestions for booking a great place in the region:

Top Accommodation Picks

Family-Friendly Apartments: Look for cozy, fully-equipped apartments with enough space for everyone to relax after a day of skiing (or non-skiing!). Many have kitchens, which can help with budget-friendly meals.

Wellness Hotels: For non-skiers, a wellness-focused hotel with a spa or thermal baths is a fantastic choice. It adds an extra layer of relaxation to your stay.
