Brandberg in Zillertal
1.080 m - 350 inhabitants
The Sunny Village at 1,080 m – Where Time Still Matters
High above the Zillertal Valley, where the mountain flanks are bathed by the sun in a gentle golden glow, lies Brandberg – a village that truly lives up to its name. Life moves at a different pace here, on the sun-drenched south-facing slope of the Zillergrund. The people who live here have chosen this place deliberately – to live life in harmony with the mountains.
What makes Brandberg so special
A genuine sense of peace While the valley below is bustling with tourists, Brandberg remains a haven of rare tranquillity. No après-ski bars, no rushing about – just the gentle chime of cowbells in the distance and the soft rush of mountain streams. It’s the kind of place where you can breathe deeply and properly switch off.
The "Sun Village" - more than just a name Thanks to its south-facing exposure, Brandberg receives far more sunshine than most places. While other valleys sit in shadow, you’ll be soaking up vitamin D and pure mountain energy. A priceless advantage, especially in autumn and winter.
Heart of the Zillertal Alps Nature Park Zillergrund, one of Tyrol’s most beautiful natural landscapes, begins right on your doorstep. As part of the Zillertal Alps Nature Park, it offers nature in its purest form – protected, preserved, and wonderfully wild.
Close encounters with mountain farming culture You'll meet people along the Bergmähder Trail who know exactly what hard work looks like. The steep hay meadows – some with gradients of up to 60° – are still mown by hand today. It's a tradition that commands respect and one you can witness at close quarters. This authentic style of farming is becoming increasingly rare.
The Brandberg Kolm – your "local" mountain The Brandberg Kolm towers majestically above the village at 2,868 metres. Climbing it is challenging, but worth every ounce of effort: the panoramic view from the summit across the Zillertal Alps is nothing short of spectacular – one of the finest vistas in the region.
Brandberg in Zillertal is a charming village tucked among flowering meadows and deep green forests. It offers the peace and breathing space you need to truly unwind. For generations, nature was the defining force of life here – and you can still feel that today. Time and again, out walking, you’ll spot mountain farmers at work on the slopes, especially along the Bergmähder Trail.
