Summer Holiday in Ehrwald · Tiroler Zugspitz Arena

Summer in the Mountains beneath the Zugspitze

Turquoise mountain lakes framed by steep cliffs, alpine pastures with views of the Zugspitze and trails for every pace: in summer, the Ehrwald, Lermoos and Biberwier valley basin shows its most beautiful side.

Set off straight from Apart Chalet Hansler on the edge of Ehrwald for a day of hiking. Walking trails and cycling routes start almost at your doorstep, and the region’s mountain lifts are just minutes away. After your outing, unwind in your chalet, built from reclaimed timber, with a garden, barbecue and sun lounger.
