Austrian Alps Alpine Adventure

For a holiday experience you'll never forget travel to Austria and enjoy an alpine adventure in the magnificent Austrian Alps. The scenery is spectacular as the Austrian Tyrol is filled with craggy peaks, deep ravines and treeless mountainsides carved out by avalanches and landslides.

If it sounds dangerous it really isn't, though navigating around those peaks and ravines will test the endurance of even the fittest of athletes. You might want to embark on some sort of fitness program in the months leading up to your holiday in Austria's Tyrolean heartland to maximise your enjoyment of the trip.

Seefeld, a tiny Tyrolean town located in a glacier-formed valley is just 30-minutes drive from the regional centre of Innsbruck. It attracts millions of visitors each year who come to enjoy the attractions on offer at the site of the Nordic skiing events of the 1964 and 1976 winter Olympics.

Accomodation in the Austrian Alps ranges from the 5-star Hotel Klosterbrau, a 16th century castle and former monastery which boasts a 500-year-old cellar full of wines from all around the world, through to the Liedlhof family farm in Leutasch which offers budget accomodation to satisfy every traveller's needs.

A short journey takes travellers to the nearby town of Leutasch, the home of Austria's largest trout farm, where they can try their hand at catching one of the local treats.

Other alpine adventure activities to enjoy on your Austrian Alps holiday include mountain biking, cycling, yodelling, carriage rides, tennis golf, horse riding and nordic walking.
