Activities in summer

Taking a little rest on a lush mountain pasture, enjoying the view of Austria’s highest mountains, marvelling at natural spectacles – a summer in East Tyrol can be as diverse as nature itself. Surrounded by Austria’s highest mountains lies one of the most beautiful natural landscapes of the Alps. More than 100 mountain refuges and countless hiking trails in the region make East Tyrol a paradise for hikers and nature lovers.

Interesting sights and attractions can be found all over East Tyrol but also in the neighbouring regions South Tyrol (Südtirol) and Carinthia (Kärnten). The national park “Hohe Tauern” (Nationalpark Hohe Tauern), the high alpine road “Großglockner” (Großglockner Hochalpenstraße), the Felbertauern, Matrei/Innergschlöss, the lake Weissensee in Carinthia (the highest swimming lake of the Eatern Alps), or the famous Three Peaks (Drei Zinnen) in South Tyrol are places definitely worth visiting! The Osttirol Card gives you the possibility to unhurriedly visit all places of interest.
