Zara Tindall yodels and wears conventional Austrian garments for ‘lederhosen and dirndls’ occasion in video for Mike Tindall’s charity snowboarding journey
Zara Tindall donned a milkmaid’s dress and yodelled in a video posted by Mike Tindall to promote a charity ski holiday in Austria.
On Wednesday, Mike, 47, revealed he will be heading to Obergurgl for Mikeys Mountain Miles next January to raise funds for spinal cord research non-profit Wings For Life.
In an video posted on Instagram, the former England rugby union player said the itinerary for the skiing trip ‘includes a lederhosen and dirndls’ party as footage showed Princess Anne‘s daughter dressed in a traditional Bavarian dress.
The outfit consisted off a tight bodice worn over a blouse, skirt, and patterned apron and the mother-of-three, 44, tied her blonde tresses into plaits.
In the short clip, she could be seen yodelling alongside a man playing the accordion, as Mike said the ‘Austrian night always leads to many laughs’ while sharing the couple’s best memories from their past trips.
The next edition of Mikeys Mountain Miles will be held from January 26 – 30, 2027, with participants treated to five days of competitive skiing, stay in a four-star Alpine resort, ‘themed dinners and entertainment’ and all meals.
Individual tickets are priced at £6,250 and bulk, four-person bookings cost £25,000, as Mike said all proceeds will go towards spinal injury research.
The caption read: ‘#MikeysMountainMiles is back!!! Join me in Obergurgl from Jan 26th–30th 2027 for an unforgettable few days on the slopes.

‘Pack your bags as we’ve got it all covered! Spaces are limited. To find out more, head to mikeysmm.com. Who’s joining me?’
It comes after Mike and Zara let their hair down on vacation in the United States.
The couple, who are not working royals, were pictured during a wild night out in Texas as they rode a mechanical bull during a visit to the ‘world’s largest honky tonk’.
A photo shared by singer John Osborne on Instagram showed the Tindalls partying at Billy Bob’s Texas – a famous country music club – in Fort Worth.
In a departure from her royal style, Zara donned a casual outfit, including a classic white T-shirt, dark denim jeans and a black cowboy hat, that screamed ‘countrycore’.
The jet-setting royals rang in the new year with their annual trip to Australia for the polo and showjumping Magic Millions event.
Earlier this year, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams commented on the possibility of Zara taking on a greater role within The Firm, amid questions over disgraced Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s future after the Epstein scandal.
Although they are well-loved by royal fans, Mike and Zara are unlikely to join the ranks of senior royals as their lives as non-working members are too lucrative to quit, Mr Fitzwilliams said.
Using her unique position of being a part of the royal family but not having a title to maximum advantage, Zara also has longstanding associations with luxury brands such as Rolex, Musto and Land Rover.

But it’s not only brand partnerships that Zara and her rugby ace husband would have to abandon if they were to become senior working royals (since the likes of the Prince and Princess of Wales are not permitted to earn money through paid sponsorships).
While it is not known whether Zara will join Mike on the ski slopes next season, the royal recently got back in the saddle to compete at one of the major equestrian events of the year.
Earlier this month, Zara participated in the Barefoot Retreats Burnham Market International Horse Trials in Norfolk.
The former Olympian also seemingly revealed a new addition to the Tindall household after she was spotted walking a small black working Cocker Spaniel.
Fans speculated the ‘adorable’ puppy may have been a gift from the Prince and Princess of Wales, with one person writing: ‘I’m convinced it might be one of the puppies from William and Catherine’s dog, Orla.’
Cocker spaniel Orla joined the Wales family in 2020 as a gift from Kate’s brother James Middleton, who is well known for breeding dogs.
Social media users suggested Zara’s pooch may be one of Orla’s, who gave birth to quadruplets last May.
Zara and the rest of the family are known to own three dogs- black Labradors Storm and Pepper, who are mother and daughter, and Blink the Brindle Boxer.
