6 Places, 6 Stories in Mayrhofen-Hippach

Your illuminating journey of discovery through our region

Embark on a journey where history comes alive! Across the six villages of the Mayrhofen-Hippach holiday region, six very special photo points are now waiting to be discovered.

More than just a photo opportunity

"6 Places, 6 Stories“ combines contemporary light art with the deep roots of our homeland. In each village – from the sunny slopes of Brandberg to the high-alpine mountaineering village of Ginzling – an impressive illuminated sculpture has been brought to life. These photo points, however, are far more than eye-catching backdrops. They are gateways to the past. Each motif tells a story of pioneering spirit, hard work, deep faith and the untamed nature of the Zillertal Alps.

Two hikers look admire the luminous ibex light sculpture at the “6 Places, 6 Stories” photo point in Mayrhofen in the Zillertal valley.
