Tucked towards the end of Austria’s Ziller Valley (Zillertal in German) lie the towns of Stumm and Mayrhofen, an easy two-hour drive across the border from Munich. Thanks to its superb location and infrastructure, the region is the perfect starting point for embarking on all kinds of winter sports activities, suitable for every level of ability. It also has some convenient and charming places to stay.
STUMM
Stumm quite literally means quiet, and so it is! It’s a quaint village with a church steeple that chimes through the valley.
We stayed first in the newly-built Baderer Apartments (baderer-apart.com), which has eight Tyrolean-style alpine apartments owned by a long-standing family from the village. It offered cosy comfort for our two travelling families, and nearby quick accessibility to the Kaltenbach cable car (hochzillertal.com). Another well-appointed unit that’s ideal for couples, Van’s Place (vans-place.com) is located further up the ski slope and run by warm and welcoming expats.
Over the course of a week in Stumm, we were never short of ski runs to try and mountain huts to visit. Aperols and Glühwein never tasted better than when overlooking the snow-capped alps on the glorious blue-sky days we experienced in March. We had our two teens and some family friends in the group – a few skied, others chose to snowboard; some did those things well, others not so well! But it was a merry holiday packed with activity and laughter.
