Uderns suits small groups who want a quiet Zillertal village base about 42 minutes by car from Innsbruck Airport. It has its own stop on the Zillertal railway. The catch: this is a village of under 2,000 people, so most of your days and evenings out will be spent elsewhere in the valley.
Uderns lies in the middle of the Ziller valley between Fügen and Ried, at about 549 metres. The municipality covers under 7 square kilometres and has fewer than 2,000 residents, so think valley village rather than resort town. The homes sit close together in one small part of the village. Most sleep around four in two bedrooms, a few have a sauna or a fireplace, none has a pool, and few sleep more than eight. Zillertal railway trains leave the Uderns stop every 30 minutes, which makes car-free days along the valley realistic. For livelier evenings, plan on travelling.
