Haustier

Every Friday, guests of the Hall-Wattens region can participate in a guided hike on the Wattenberg as part of the winter weekly program.

In cold temperatures, we are happy to have our furry companions, who we can always warm up with. “Lamapapa” Hans introduces us to his “family”: We get up close and personal with the clever hiking buddies and explore the Wattenberg forest together. Along the way, we learn a lot of new things about the friendly cloven-hoofed animals. Let's go!

On five Fridays in winter 2026/27, you can accompany the night watchman through medieval Hall.

A wonderful guided snowshoe hike in the Tux Alps: From the Tulfein mountain station, we trek with snowshoes across snowy trails to the longest larch bench at Schartenkogel. The view of the Karwendel, Inn Valley, and Volder Valley is breathtaking! On the way back, we will refresh ourselves at the Tulfein Alm with Tyrolean delicacies.

Together we will conjure up an apple strudel made from primarily regional ingredients using stretched strudel dough, and enjoy the typical Austrian pastry afterwards with a cup of coffee.
As it is well known, love goes through the stomach!

On Fridays, we head to Absam Halltal in search of traces: Together with a Tyrolean nature guide and equipped with Swarovski binoculars, we hike through the wintry Halltal. Together, we discover flora, fauna, and with a bit of luck, wildlife in the largest nature park in Austria.

Discover narrow alleyways, charming squares, "talking" signs, and the main sights of the largest old town in Tyrol. City tours take place on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday at 10:00 AM.

The 700-year-old town is located 10 km east of Innsbruck and was the largest and most significant town in North Tyrol during the Middle Ages. Rich salt deposits allowed the town to flourish as early as the 13th century. When in the 15th century the princely mint from Meran in South Tyrol was moved to Hall, the importance of the town grew further. In the year 1486, the first thaler in the world was minted in Hall.

At the center of the old town is one of the most beautiful squares in Austria, the Upper Town Square. Noteworthy are the late Gothic parish church of St. Nicholas, the town hall, and the Magdalene Chapel.

A journey through the mystical time between the years!

A special tradition during the Christmas season in Tyrol and the Alpine region is "smudging" or as they beautifully say in the dialect "rachign gian". These twelve holy nights have a particularly strong attraction for people. Many of us know the sayings at Christmas or New Year's like "Don't wash laundry or hang it out to dry" or "keep the wheels still". But what exactly does it mean? Accordingly, the Hall-Wattens tourism association offers a very special tour on this topic.
