The Gasthaus St. Pankraz, the Hotel Garni Alpina, the Hotel Kohlerhof or the Wohlfühl Hotel Schiestl.

You will find information about upcoming events in the tourist offices of the Zillertal region. Festivals and open-air concerts as well as Tyrolean evenings take place weekly in the region's 3 event halls. 4 dance clubs in Fügen/Hochfügen offer the most popular sounds of the season and give you the opportunity to dance to your heart's content. For somewhat quieter evenings and nights with music, we recommend our pubs and bars.
