| You should certainly not miss out on a holiday in the homely, alpine holiday region of Tyrol! On some 10,500 square kilometres, the area offers you a multitude of opportunities to spend your leisure time, be it in summer for some light walks, challenging hikes or airy mountain tours through a challenging landscape. In winter, you can treat yourself to a magnificent drive sleigh ride or a dazzling snow board race against a glorious panorama view. |

The predominant mountain climate is characterised by wet summers, dry falls and snowy winters. However, the region also shows some astounding differences in climates in sub-regions directly adjacent to one another. |

The Tyrolese region has been inhabited by humans for some 10,000 years. About 4,000 years ago people started to develop Tyrol as an agriculturally valuable region. The legendary glacier mummy dubbed “Oetzi” bears witness to this fact. Incidentally, it has been proven that humans started smelting metal here some 2000 BC. Copper mining led to a thriving trade later on.
Today, tourism is one of the most important industrial sectors in Northern Tyrol. A contributing factor to this must certainly be the open-mindedness and heartiness of the local people. |
