A Gem of Nature between Austria and Italy

East Tyrol is one of the last nature rich holiday retreats in the Alps. The holiday region on the sunny side of the Alps has managed to keep its originality and traditions which today are much sought after.

Between the tallest mountains in Austria, with the Grossglockner (3798 m) in the north and the Dolomites in the south, spreads a beautiful natural paradise. More than half of the land is part of the Upper Tauern National Park, the largest national park in Central Europe.

Rugged mountain peaks, clear mountain lakes, glacier massifs, green meadows and waterfalls offer a unique natural spectacle and an abundance of mountain sports possibilities. Discover East Tyrol on the numerous hiking and cycling routes, breathe in the fresh mountain air and enjoy the more than 2000 hours of sunshine a year.
