Each week there is a free day when no guided walks are offered. This is an ideal opportunity to relax around the hotel, walk independently or visit local places of interest. Some options for your free day may include:
Mayrhofen: Enjoy a leisurely day visiting the shops with lunch in one of the pavement cafés. For a more active day you could spend time at the outdoor pool or tennis courts which are near the hotel. A variety of bicycles can be hired locally; the Zillertal Valley Cycle Path is a popular cycling route if you are after level terrain. 
Innsbruck: Explore the charming old town of Tyrol’s capital. Admire its iconic Golden Roof, visit the impressive Imperial Palace, or take in breathtaking alpine views from the Nordkette mountain range or the Bergisel ski jump.
Achensee: A popular excursion is to take the narrow-gauge railway to Jenbach and then the steam-operated rack and pinion railway to Achensee, an attractive lake with boat trips and easy walking options.
