In the midst of the snow-covered peaks to the south of the main Alpine ridge you will find East Tyrol, which draws in families, adventurers and holidaymakers alike with its unspoilt nature and lived tradition. There are few other regions that offer such incredible nature experiences as the "Land of Mountains" and its 266 three-thousand-meter peaks. In the cold season, the spotlight is on activities such as skiing, ski touring, cross-country skiing und winter hiking.
But East Tyrol wouldn't be East Tyrol without the opportunity to enjoy unique experiences in addition to sport and competition. Breathing in the clear mountain air and taking inspiration from the power of nature will leave you feeling invigorated and fulfilled. The "Land of Mountains" is also committed to gentle tourism and an individual approach when it comes to accommodation: Rather than hotel castles run by large chains and après-ski hotspots, holidaymakers will find a diverse range of luxurious hotels, cozy guesthouses and comfortable vacation apartments in this popular holiday region. One thing they all have in common is the warm hospitality of the East Tyroleans, which is what makes the travel experience in this alpine region so special.
