The Ötztal Valley is one of the most diverse excursion destinations in Tyrol. With numerous climbing gardens, the Aqua Dome thermal spa and the action paradise Area 47, it is a real must-visit. In Umhausen, you can experience everyday life of the world-famous Stone Age man “Ötzi” first-hand at the Ötzidorf. Right next to it, the birds of prey park offers insights into falconry, including impressive flight displays. Not far away, the Stuibenfall, Tyrol’s largest waterfall, roars down with impressive force. Also worth a visit is the natural gem Piburger See near Oetz.
Turn into the wild and romantic Rosengarten Gorge right in the centre of Imst and hike, accompanied by the rushing of the Schinderbach stream, up via paths and bridges to Hoch-Imst. The mountain railway will take you to the start of the 3.5 km-long summer toboggan run "Alpine Coaster", and after the fast descent, fun and games continue at the Family Park.
Take a day trip to Seefeld and Leutasch on the sunny high plateau of Tyrol. At an altitude of 1,200 metres, you’ll find experiences between mountain and valley, forest and meadows, sport and tradition. You can, for example, hike through the well-known Geisterklamm gorge or attend local events and festivals. Thanks to the convenient train connection from Innsbruck, Seefeld is easily accessible in a short time – and you can avoid any potential parking fees on site.
"From cultural monuments to natural gems, from must-sees to hidden gems in Innsbruck and the surrounding area: tailored to your interests, we’d be happy to recommend a beautiful destination."
Start early to head towards Schloss Linderhof in Ettal via Seefeld. There, you can leisurely explore the neo-Rococo dream world of King Ludwig II, complete with magnificent parklands. Next, the world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle in the Allgäu region, with its almost surreal beauty, forms a crowning highlight. With many impressions (and photos) to take away, you’ll wind your way back over the Fernpass into the nobleman’s domain.
Our day trip tip for motorsport enthusiasts: the high-mountain road from Imst via the Hahntennjoch into the Vorarlberg Lech Valley is a dream route for motorcyclists, convertible fans and vintage car lovers. It winds through barren rocky landscapes and remote villages, climbing to an altitude of 1,894 metres. Edelmanns Villa & Suites is ideally situated between Bavaria and northern Italy, with routes stretching as far as the wheels can take you – perfect as a stopover and starting point for all kinds of vintage car meets.
At the Ehrenberg Castle World near Reutte, you can immerse yourself in the medieval world of knights. Those who are not afraid of heights can tackle a 400 m long challenge: the “highline197”, with a height of up to 114 m, is considered the world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge in Tibetan style. Even more adrenaline awaits on the way back at the Tarrenz Driving Village with gas-powered go-karting. Another great spot for go-kart racing is the Motorsport Arena in Ötztal-Bahnhof.
Rattle in Schwaz with the Grubenhunt into the largest silver mine of the late Middle Ages and learn all about the harsh life of the miners. In the Swarovski Crystal Worlds Wattens, artworks made of cut crystals sparkle in the magical realm of the giant. To conclude, visit what is probably the most beautiful medieval old town in Tyrol in the mint town of Hall.
