Kaltenbach, together with Ried and Stumm, is positioned in the heart of the valley, the so called "first holiday region in the Zillertal". Kaltenbach is the largest and best known among these three resorts. Thanks to the ring road, thorough-traffic doesn't exist here. The smaller and quieter village of Ried is right on the border of Kaltenbach. Stumm, on the opposite side of the valley, is approx. 1.5 km from the gondola to the ski area "Ski-optimal" and offers a special flair with its beautiful village square. All three districts have a modern tourist infrastructure with, among other amenities, indoor pools and various recreational attractions. In the middle of the ski area Hochzillertal lay the "Kristallhütte" and the "Wedelhütte", which are known to be two of the best ski huts in the Zillertal, and have already given shelter to many famous celebrities. Further, numerous restaurants offer regional specialities like traditional "Kasspatzen" pasta with cheese, home-made apple strudel, and "Kaiserschmarrn," sugared pancakes with raisins.

The après ski Mecca of Hochzillertal has so much to offer, with respect to a successful day on the piste.. Rustic and cosy huts can be found all along the pistes. Just relax sitting at the fire place or lounging on a deck chair. Later on, you can go and enjoy a traditional beverage "Jagertee" and mulled wine in the "Postalm". In the evening, the fun takes place in the pubs and clubs where the partying and flirting goes on until the early hours! Every Wednesday and Friday you can hit the slopes at night, taking the valley run home (until 22:00). If you want to get active off the pistes you'll have fun swimming, ice-skating, bowling, snow-shoeing and tobogganing - in Kaltenbach (almost) anything is possible!
