Whether you want to walk in wonderful forests or across alpine meadows, you are roped up passing a glacier or go mountain climbing in the Dolomites - there is something easy or difficult for everybody.

Of course, East Tyrol is also a paradise for mountain bikers as well as swimmers.

180 peaks of more than 3.000 meters, 500 peaks with more than 2.000 meters, 50 alpine shelter huts and about 45 huts for light hikes - and the highest mountain of Austria - 3,798 meters: the Grossglockner.

You can be sure about one thing: You will never run out of plans for walking and hiking trips!

Explore the genuine nature of East Tyrol - from the picturesque valleys to the alpine mountain chains. Then, you will understand why this area became the national park Hohe Tauern.

The breathtaking landscape helps you forget your worries.

Enjoy the feeling of freedom when you stand on top of a mountain in the brightest sunshine - when you can almost see to the Adriatic Sea.

Whether you decide to go for a nice and easy trip with your whole family or for a special mountain tour - the extensive road net offers everything from pleasant bike tours to challenges for extreme bikers.

Many bike trips you can start right from our holiday flats, for example the favourite trip to the alpine pasture Ranach Alm.

If you want to leave your bike at home, don't worry - in Lienz there are numerous bike-stores where you can rent every kind of bicycle easily.

In summer, there may be up to 35 degrees Celsius at the most sunny days in Austria. Then you might be eager to jump into the Tristacher See or visit one of several open-air baths.

To tell you a secret:

The numerous lakes and ponds up in the mountains are rather useful for undergoing a course of Kneipp treatment than a swimming adventure.

East Tyrol is a paradise for all sportswomen and sportsmen! In-door bath, golf, in- and out-door tennis courts, squash-areas, mini-golf, horse-riding, paragliding, kayak, rafting, canyoning, glacier-trekking, hang gliding etc.
