Introducing Imst
Beautifully situated in the wide Gurgltal (Gurgl Valley) and spreading towards a jagged range of peaks, Imst is one of the region’s best-kept secrets. With its alpine-crisp air, undulating meadows and hidden ravines, this unassuming little town is a terrific base for silent uphill trudges. While skiers carve up the slopes in the nearby Ötztal, Haflinger horses graze on these hillsides – it’s a taste of Tyrol before the tourists got there.

The tourist office (69 10-0; www.imst.at; Johannesplatz 4; 9am-6pm Mon-Fri, 9am-noon Sat) is highly informed on accommodation and activities in Imst and its surrounds; there’s also free internet access.
