A taste of autumn in Zillertal

Cuisine is a living tradition in Zillertal: It holds a special place here – far more than simply a way of eating, it is a cultural heritage passed down through generations. It’s about regional ingredients, time-honoured craftsmanship and a deep appreciation for what alpine farming and local producers bring to the table.

You’ve just encountered a perfect example of this culinary heritage: Zillertaler Krapfen. This iconic regional speciality is traditionally filled with "Graukäse" grey cheese and potatoes.

To celebrate this rich diversity, we invite you to our culinary weeks as part of the Zillertal Farmers’ and Music Autumn Festival (19 September – 4 October 2026). Simply look out for the official Genussherbst Partner badge and treat yourself at participating restaurants.

The best part: When you stop by and enjoy these regional delicacies, you can enter an exclusive prize draw via QR code on site. You could win vouchers for culinary experiences – or even a return stay in Zillertal as the main prize! FIND OUT MORE
