On July 31st, 1902, this wonderful narrow-gauge steam train made its first journey from Jenbach to Mayrhofen. The line almost closed in 1965 to make way for a new road which was being constructed. Fortunately saved, it still operates along the Ziller Valley to this day. Take this nostalgic train from Jenbach to Mayrhofen and enjoy a little schnapps and some folk music along the way. Mayrhofen boasts beautiful views, as well as a pretty town centre. Why not relax with a drink, soak up the surrounding scenery and watch the world go by.

After some free time in Mayrhofen you will visit the “BrauKunstHaus” in Zell am Ziller and experience Tyrolean beer culture for all the senses. As part of an exciting multimedia tour, you can discover how the country and its people shape the Zillertal specialities and get to know many secrets of the region.

We have recently returned from another Self Drive holiday to Llandudno, staying at the Marine Hotel. We had the most wonderful time - Hotel was again clean and comfortable and was beautifully warm (which was needed). All staff are wonderfully friendly and welcoming and we could not fault this holiday - we always enjoy our stay and cannot wait to return.
