Summiteering with the Zillertaler mountain railways
One ascent and descent per day with one of the 10 mountain railways of your choice is included with the Zillertal Activcard. Three of those are located in beautiful Tuxertal – the ride onto Hintertux glacier, where you can ski all year round, is particularly spectacular.

Free from A to B
Travel for free throughout the region by public transport with the Activcard! Explore the valley by train and bus (except steam train). The train runs every half hour from Jenbach to Mayrhofen and stops at small stations if desired. Promotion for nostalgia-savvy cyclists: 10% discount on the combined steam train/bike tariff. Get up high by bus – Tux-Finkenberg lies higher than the rest and the valley and is therefore situated in the heart of the mountains. Hiking taxis take you to the most beautiful places in the high alpine landscape.
