Holiday in Tyrol

About Tyrol

Tyrol is the heart of the Austrian Alps and one of the most famous holiday regions in Europe. The federal state stretches from the Arlberg in the west to the Wilder Kaiser in the east and includes some of the most spectacular mountain landscapes of the entire Alpine arc — with over 500 peaks exceeding 3,000 meters, five glaciers, and countless crystal-clear mountain lakes. In winter, Tyrol is one of the best ski regions in the world: Legendary areas such as St. Anton am Arlberg (the cradle of alpine skiing), Kitzbühel, Ischgl, Sölden, and the Stubai Valley together offer thousands of kilometers of slopes in all difficulty levels. The Hintertux Glacier enables year-round skiing, and the après-ski culture in Ischgl and St. Anton is world-famous. In summer, the mountains transform into a paradise for hikers, climbers, and mountain bikers: The Adlerweg, Tyrol's most famous long-distance hiking trail, leads across the country in 33 stages over 413 kilometers. Innsbruck, the state capital, combines urban flair with alpine panorama like hardly any other city in the world. Tyrolean hospitality is legendary — over 1,500 managed alpine huts invite visitors to stop by, where Kasspatzln, Tiroler Gröstl, and Kaiserschmarrn are served. Culturally, the Kufstein Fortress, the Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens, the baroque monasteries of Stams and Fiecht, as well as the vibrant traditions of Almabtrieb, marksmanship, and Perchten runs impress. Tyrol is the Austrian alpine experience in its most concentrated form.
