Hi. I'm planning a hiking trip to Tirol in Austria. We are considering the "Silberregion" or "Zillertal"? Does anyone know these places? Which would be the most beautiful place? Or do you have any other suggestions for hiking in Austria?

I don't know those places, but I recently stayed at Neustift im Stubaital, near Innsbruck, and did some walking there, in beautiful surroundings. How strenuous do you want it to be? We went up to the surrounding high points by cable car and walked down what were mostly very well-maintained paths, but it is possible to walk up, and also to do a ring of the high mountain lodges around the glacier there, I believe.

We were just in Lech am Arlberg in the nearby Voralberg District. Wonderful hiking trails for all skill levels. If you stay overnight at one of the hotels, pensions, etc, you get the Lech card which gives you free access to all of the lifts, gondolas, and hiking buses. Pension Juliana is a very good place to stay at.
Hi,
While not hikers, the Zillertal has some of the most beautiful alpine scenery I've seen in Austria. We stayed in Finkenberg (in the Zillertal) in Sept. 2009.

Another area (valley) you may want to consider is the Oetztal. This starts less than an hour west of Innsbruck. We stayed in Soelden for 4 nights. Again, simply amazing alpine scenery throughout the valley.
