Winter. Holidays in Tyrol

During the cold season, Tyrol’s winter wonderland reveals its most enchanting side: Away from the slopes, dreamlike snow-covered landscapes open up for winter walks; in rustic mountain huts, you can sit together after a convivial toboggan ride; and in the family-run hotels and guesthouses, you simply feel at home. In the evening at the bar, the fire crackles in the fireplace whilst snowflakes fall softly outside the window. Discover the mountain winter in all its facets.
