Summer, sun, holiday diversity in the Tyrolean Oberland!
Experience the diversity of the Tyrolean summer
Lie back and relax, feel the sun’s rays on your stomach and simply do nothing.

After all, the tri-country region offers almost endless possibilities for sporting mountain adventures, fun family activities and chilled concert evenings. So get out in the fresh air and dive into the holiday fun!
Hiking and mountain climbing in the Tyrolean Oberland

Whether you’re a passionate hiker, an occasional walker or a true fan: with more than 300 kilometres of marked hiking and mountain trails, every mountain lover will feel fulfilled. On top of all that, there are quaint mountain huts, picturesque lodges, spectacular gorges and cascading waterfalls – no wonder that so many visitors can’t bring themselves to take off their walking boots!

Via Claudia Augusta - from the peak to the sea
For everyone for whom a day’s hike isn’t enough by far, the Tyrolean Oberland has a special treat in store. After all, the famous long-distance hiking route Via Claudia Augusta, which starts in the German town of Donauwörth and continues all the way to Venice, passes right through the beautiful Tyrolean Oberland! In the last few years, the breath-taking path along the Roman road has been extensively restored and signposted, therefore guaranteeing unadulterated long-distance hiking fun!

Mission: Diversity!
A holiday for all tastes

Fancy blowing off steam in a tennis match or a game of beach volleyball, or getting the adrenaline pumping with canyoning, rafting or climbing? Recharging the batteries with Nordic walking?
