Mayrhofen in Zillertal is one of the most versatile destinations in the Tyrolean Alps. Holiday life here is an eclectic mix of chic and rustic, sporty and romantic, international and homely.

And the same goes for the cuisine in the valley that many consider to be the most hospitable and sporty in Austria. From huts on the mountain to gourmet temples down in the valley, eating out here has a very distinctive culture. Zillertaler cuisine derives from ancient recipes with strange sounding dishes made often from dairy products called, "Graukassuppe, Schlichtanudeln, Zillertaler Krapfen und Zerggl that simply melt on the tongue. 

Traditional Zillertal fare is served in many guest houses and restaurants.

Try one of the original meals such as "Bauernbratl, Kas- und Spinat-Spazlang, Melchamuas, Ofenleber, Erdäpfelpfandl, Speckknödelsuppe, Schlutzkrapfn und Buttermilchschmarrn" - you won't be disappointed!
