Mount Ahorn - Summer
Description
MOUNT AHORN Unique moments of pleasure and joy
How to get started? Calculate kilometres covered on hiking routes and mountain tours? Although if we’re really honest, who wants to hike every single metre? The Ahornbahn cable car in Zillertal whisks nature-loving hiking fans and families up to the Ahorn plateau and heart of all the action in a mere 6.5 minutes. Whether embarking on a challenging summit tour or savouring the view at one of the feel-good spots to relax - it’s never an either or in Mountopolis. Because that's what connects people with nature and emotions with adventure. Early morning summit ascent? No problem, you can reach the dizzy heights as early as 07.30 a.m. with the Hiker’s Gondola. Or are you an even earlier riser? Those interested can take the SunRise Gondola every Tuesday at dawn from July to mid-September. More of a night owl than an early bird? As in summer, the mystical natural spectacle of sunset can be witnessed in all its glory - thanks to the SunSet Gondola.
As you can see, free spirits and wild "birds" feel at home all day long on Mount Ahorn. So much so, the Eagle’s Stage Ahorn, Europe's highest Birds of Prey Station at 2,000 metres above sea level, has been in situ for over 10 years now. Eagles, buzzards, owls and the like can be admired here during the daily one-hour Birds of Prey Show at 02.00 p.m. (except Fridays). Another programme highlight was created in the form of around Filzen reservoir with the prestigious rating of: absolutely worth visiting!
AlbertAdler PlayWorld by Ravensburger - An exciting and varied indoor game world right next to the Ahornbahn mountain station was created in a collaborative venture with Ravensburger on an area covering around 140m². Equipped with a big climbing wall, playhouse with books and games, an eagle's nest with listening stations, GraviTrax- und Brio play tables, giant puzzle and memory game. AlbertAdler AdventureTrail - Embark on this journey and discover the story surrounding "AlbertAdler and the Battle of Mayrhofen", together with our mascot, AlbertAdler. Discover various interactive stations that will delight visitors of every age. At the end of the tour, the newly created "FalkenSteig" trail with the panoramic "Greifen-Brücke" bridge awaits before you return to the starting point of the tour at the Ahornbahn mountain station.
By the way: mountains AND water go hand in hand on Mount Ahorn. The water oases of Lake AhornSee and AhornBachl Stream are exquisitely refreshing and perfect for playing and making a splash, or simply cooling your feet after a hike. Not only that, a very special LeisureSquare is waiting to be discovered at the Ahornbahn cable car mountain station.
What would Mountopolis be without themed trails? One could almost say boring, which is why Mount Ahorn is never sparing with its wonderful attractions. The pram-friendly LeisureTrail runs across the entire Ahorn plateau and offers fabulous vistas from its four ViewingPlatforms: Eagle’s View, Zillertal, Stilluptal and Filzenalm. Those who want to surpass themselves not only mentally but also athletically on Mount Ahorn can do so on the HikingPath Filzenkogel. The well-maintained trail takes hikers to the summit at 2,227 metres above sea level, with panoramic views of the mighty Zillertal Alps. Impressive and inspiring at the same time!
