Tirol
in the Winter....Simply
Superb |

Tirol is not only the
heart of the Alps, it's also the heart of Europe. With excellent road and
rail connections, as well as the airport at Innsbruck, Tirol is an ideal
vacation region that's easy to get to from anywhere in the world. |
|
Breathtaking scenery also makes Tirol a natural choice for a holiday, be
it for sports or relaxation. Majestic mountain ranges shelter the land and
divide it into small, semi-secluded areas, each with its own distinctive
character.
Towering, snow-capped mountain peaks glittering in the sun are
a perfect backdrop for the picture-book villages in the valleys below. The character of the land
depends on its elevation, and Tirol's mountains, valleys and plateaus
provide guests with a wide choice of ways to unwind or have fun in a
beautiful natural setting. |

The most popular winter sport in Tirol is
Alpine skiing, and skiers will find hundreds of cable cars, chair lifts
and T-bars waiting to whisk them to the mountaintops. With well-trained
professional instructors, skiers of all ages quickly master slopes that
include famous World Cup ski runs such as the Kandahar at St. Anton or the
Hahnenkamm at Kitzbuhel. |
|
And skis are not the only equipment you'll see on
the slopes. If you still haven't tried snowboarding or snow rafting, a
vacation in Tirol might provide the ideal opportunity to see what all the
excitement is about. Guests who prefer a quieter, more relaxing pace will
enjoy over 1000 kilometers (600 miles) of cleared walking trails that wind
through snowy woods and idyllic villages.
