Rural idyll and traditional festivities - expire the untroubled cosiness of the Ziller Valley.

The Ried holiday resort nestles in a marvellous mountain scenery. Horse-drawn sleigh rides, walk in unspoilt winter scenery, sociable evenings at mountain huts - the romantically-minded will find a lot to their liking in Ried.

The sports-minded get the real deal too: Kaltenbach, the neighbouring village, has one of the biggest and most modern skiing areas of the valley - Hochzillertal-Hochfügen, which you can reach very easily with the free ski bus.
