Introducing Tyrol
Mountain ranges converge in picture-perfect Tirol (also spelled Tyrol). The place easily captures quintessential Alpine scenery. In the northeast and southwest are superb ski resorts. In the southeast, separated somewhat from the main state since part of South Tirol was ceded to Italy at the end of WWI, lies the protected natural landscape of the Hohe Tauern National Park, and Grossglockner (3797m), the country’s highest peak. Back further west, in the middle of the main state, Innsbruck is the region’s jewel.
Activities in Tyrol
Innsbruck
One of the great things about Innsbruck is that almost every corner you turn affords spectacular views of the Nordkette Alps, the city’s natural skyscrapers.
Kitzbühel
Ask an Austrian to rattle off the top ski resorts in the country, and Kitzbühel will invariably make the grade.
