What`s up in Finkenberg?

Situated at the entrance of the Tux Valley the picturesque village of Finkenberg is the second largest community of the Ziller Valley. Finkenberg is not only known for its breathtaking scenery but also for its celebrities: the “Zillertaler Schürzenjäger” and ski legend Leonhard Stock. The village, however, has kept its unique character and invites to spend incredible holidays in the Ziller Valley.

[Translate to 01_EN:] Eine Besonderheit ist der Naturpark Zillertaler Alpen. Das Land Tirol, der Österreichische Alpenverein sowie die Tourismusverbände Mayrhofen und Finkenberg betreuen diesen Hochgebirgs-Naturpark, der seit 2001 die einzigartige Gebirgslandschaft unter Schutz stellt. Ein abwechslungsreiches Wanderprogramm bringt interessierten Gästen die beeindruckende Natur näher.

Traditionell kehren Mitte September die ca. 400 Schafe und Haflinger von den Almen ins Dorf zurück und lassen sich beim „Schafferfest“ gebührend feiern. Der seit 1985 jährlich stattfindende Finkenberger Almabtrieb begeistert jedes Jahr aufs Neue und motiviert viele Besucher die Züchter, Senner und Hirten auf ihrem 30km langen Heimweg zu begleiten.
