Tirol
Winter holidays with action, adrenaline and at high-speed

Tirol is the perfect setting for adventure sports like skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country skiing, making a winter holiday unforgettable.

The breathtaking Alpine landscape of Tirol is the 'icing on the cake' for anyone looking to embrace winter sports to the fullest. Craving speed and adventure? Then head to the snow parks or hit the slopes. How about gliding down a hill or across a frozen lake while snowkiting with the power of the wind? Or whizzing down the piste on an inflatable tube while snow tubing? It sounds fun because it truly is.

Sharing these experiences in the snow and nature is always a top priority. And afterwards, or even in between, you can relax in a cosy mountain hut, enjoying some treats and gearing up for the next run.

Climate Protection Information

Heritage protection – a synonym for sustainability

The preservation of historic buildings is an outstanding climate protection initiative in Austria. Why?

  • Heritage protection helps save resources by maintaining existing structures, thereby avoiding new construction projects on green spaces.

  • It also plays a significant socio-cultural role by contributing to the preservation of historic buildings, which can strengthen regional identity and enrich cultural offerings.

  • Many historic buildings were originally constructed using natural materials, often sourced locally. Restoration efforts aim to use these materials to maintain the authenticity of the buildings.

  • Moreover, the habitats of various animal and plant species can be protected. On an ecological level, heritage protection is also the ideal approach.
