Experience Tyrol - A Land with Many Faces Holiday in the Middle of the Alps
In Tyrol you will find the most 3,000-metre peaks and glaciers in Austria. But Tyrol has much more to offer: Would you like to rest at a beautiful mountain lake after your hike? And drink a glass of buttermilk from the farmer's wife? Or in winter, after an extensive day of skiing in one of the many modern ski resorts, taste some Tyrolean delicacies? Bacon dumpling soup, Tyrolean Gröstl or Kaiserschmarren - enjoyment has many facets in Tyrol.
Uncover Tyrol - A Land of Diversity
Tyrol is home to the largest number of 3,000m peaks and glaciers in Austria. But Tyrol is more than that! Would you like to have a rest after hiking to a beautiful lake nestled in the mountains? Do you fancy a glass of home-made buttermilk? The farmer from the mountain cabin will serve you some. Are you looking forward to sampling the local cuisine at the end of a winter’s day spent in the great outdoors? A day out skiing in one of the state-of-the-art ski resorts will make you hungry. A hearty soup with bacon dumplings, potato and meat stir-fry (“Tiroler Gröstl”) or the popular “Kaiserschmarren” (a sweet, fluffy pancake - a typical Austrian delight) - the Tyrolean cuisine is diverse and delicious!
Big Five on the Farm
Ready, steady, go! A safari is about to begin. With lions and giraffes? No, quite wrong. We will go on a safari on an Austrian farm. Plenty of animals are waiting for you in the barn, in the stables and on the pastures.
Cattle is grazing on the meadows, horses are galloping through the open fields, hens are cackling, pigs are grunting and sheep are looking as fluffy as you could possibly imagine. Let’s get to meet them!
