Winter hike Filzenkogel winter walk in Mayrhofen

Mayrhofen, Zillertal / Zillertal Alps
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 3.6 km
Duration: 1:30 h

Not just admiring a snow-covered summit from afar, but feeling it directly under your toes, touching the summit cross and enjoying the view from the very top - that's winter hiking at its best. Do you agree? Then you should definitely try this summit hike.

Tour character

Medium-difficulty summit hike from the Ahornbahn mountain station past the Ahornsee lake and the Zillertal viewing platform, from where you have a magnificent view of the Zillertal mountains. The groomed winter hiking trail leads in serpentines towards the summit. The last quarter of the trail is a little narrower, but still easy to walk on. The pretty summit cross with edelweiss is worth a photo, as is the view from the top. Important: Check the tourist board website to see if the trail is open.
