Tirol is regarded by many as the jewel in Austria's crown as it has something for everyone from jet set destinations such as St Anton and Kitzbuehel to the the activity and adventure hubs of the Pitztal and Otztal valleys.
The scenery of Tirol, dubbed "country of mountains" is the perfect definition of unspoilt nature with towering mountain peaks leading to picturesque valleys, sparkling lakes and untouched meadows.
Tirol provides the perfect climate for outdoor activities as in the summer it is pleasantly cool, but the intensity of the sun increases with altitude so you need to be careful when hiking. Also the valley has a slim chance of rainfall (which is always great news for your holidays) as it only averages around 60cm per year.
Within the region of Tirol you will find the area of Otztal. If Tirol is the jewel in Austria's crown, then Otztal is the sparkle in that jewel. It is surrounded by mountains, some which are 3km tall, boasting the largest glacier in the eastern Alps, and the tallest waterfall in Tirol. Otztal is not only the most beautiful but also these attributes create perfect conditions for outdoor oursuits such as rafting, mountain biking, and hiking but to name a few.
It is for this reason that in this little alpine paradise, ActivityBreaks.com has its new activity centre where you can have a four night activity and adventure break and you can choose to stay in wooden teepees (honest!) or in a alpine lodge. Either way you can expect the following:
This is the perfect base for famillies or groups of friends who are tired of doing the boring beach holiday and need some excitment on an active holiday.
Also being in the Otztal Valley it is a great location for exploring the area, and with Innsbruck and Salzburg not too far away, a day trip to one of these cities is not out of the question.
