Hiking in Tirol<br />
How’s it going today?<br />
it’s no secret that<br />
Tirol , with its countless mountain summits,<br />
cliffs and alpine pastures, has been a paradise<br />
for climbers and hikers for ages. But it<br />
is worth noting that there are now 15,000<br />
km of well-marked mountain climbing and<br />
hiking trails through forests, meadows and<br />
rocky crags to guide you along your way.<br />
One hundred fifty huts and 500 alpine pastures<br />

summit chargers with all the nutrition they<br />
need, Tirolean delicacies generally prepared<br />
from farm products from the region and<br />

gazing, gaping at the wonders and<br />
beauties of nature, at the inspiring panoply<br />
of sporting possibilities – and then, off you<br />

when it’s a question of diversity and<br />
variations: the landscape, cultural trails<br />

way to architectural sights and cultural or<br />

Mountain biking and bicycling in Tirol<br />
Up close to nature. To really reach the<br />
soul of a landscape, truly get to know it and<br />
take it in, no sport is as well suited as biking:<br />
with all five senses wide open, savouring<br />
every iota of nature, slowly yet with<br />
enough tempo to cover wide expanses. Tirol<br />
is made for this kind of exploring, a land<br />
waiting to be “conquered”: along demanding<br />
single trails, on the renowned Bike<br />
Trail or the marked mountain biking routes<br />
lacing the countryside along more than<br />
4,000 km. On 750 km of bicycling paths<br />
through flat valleys, those who prefer to<br />
take it easy will come alive, e.g. on the inn<br />
River Trail or the Drau Trail – family friendly<br />
routes that leave you plenty of breath to enjoy<br />
the surrounding splendour, no matter<br />
what your physical fitness. And whoever is<br />
addicted to speed should visit Tirol ’s bike<br />
sports for top athletes. For details on the high-<br />
lights of biking sport, see<br />

White as snow Winter activities in Tirol. The snowpack glistens<br />
and sparkles in coruscating sunlight, trees, fields and house roofs<br />
are cloaked in a brilliant white blanket of snow, a profound stillness<br />
permeates the landscape – winter in Tirol, it is a very special season<br />
which for atmospheric images and romantic ambiente can hardly be<br />
beaten. For real sports freaks, on the other hand, Tirol’s icy period<br />
means “time for action!” After all, since Tirol’s five glaciers have<br />
more or less ignored the march of the seasons, one winter opening<br />
follows another and snowboarders and ski freaks can finally go crazy<br />
on the slopes living out their passion. Such magnificence! While the<br />
ski circus provides its own brand of stimulations, cross country skiers<br />
and winter hikers enjoy their own quiet rounds, while sledders<br />
giggle their merry way down the joyful runs. And soon it is time for a<br />
quiet, intimate and cosy stopover for a mug of Christmas punch and<br />
the aroma of Lebkuchen honeycakes in the Advent season, which is<br />
lovingly celebrated in Tirol at the Christkindl Markets and in traditional<br />
customs.<br />
