What Is There To Do In Tirol?
It is well-known that Tirol is a famous spot for skiing in winter. But the region, located in the eastern part of Austria, also has a lot to offer during the summer.
Tirol is situated in the Alps and Northern and Eastern Tirol in Austria as well as Southern Tyrol in Italy offer loads of fun for the family during the whole year.
Tirol is ideal for outdoor vacations. Take a deep breath and enjoy the fresh air in the mountains. This is definitely a great place for the soul and the senses. In the middle of the mountains, surrounded by a magnificent landscape you will be able to relax completely. The motto is: relax and just don’t do anything. Immerse yourself in the silence of the surrounding area, spend the day at a lake and go for a swim and afterwards take a relaxing sunbathe. Or what about going fishing, which is a special form of spending your time. The catch could be prepared in the evening at the barbecue. Going on a paddle boat or – for the more active ones – sailing are great water sports activities. Quite wild would be rafting. The rivers Inn, Drau and Lech, which all flow into de Danube, are popular rafting paradises - as well as other smaller rivers.
But of course the main reason to come to Tirol is still the mountain landscape. And what is the best to do in the mountains?
Of course hiking and rock climbing. The biggest mountains in Tirol are the Königsspitze in the southern part and the Großglockner in Eastern Tyrol. These ones and a few more mountains in Tirol are higher than 4.000 meters. Just try it and perhaps you will discover a part of the Reinhold Messner (Original Tiroler Jung) in yourself.
