Vacation Rentals in Tyrol

Tyrol offers a varied landscape of mountains, valleys, meadows and idyllic villages in which you will find numerous holiday apartments. Accommodation in secluded locations is available in lofty mountain heights with breathtaking views. In addition, the state capital Innsbruck seduces with some comfortable apartments in the historic center.

Whether holiday home, holiday apartment or chalet, most vacation rentals blend harmoniously into the Tyrolean landscape. Book a remote wooden chalet to enjoy plenty of privacy. The holiday apartments are also mostly in Tyrolean country houses with colourful flowering balconies. A chalet with plenty of space and some optional extras, such as a sauna or whirlpool, is particularly comfortable.

Tyrol attaches great importance to warm hospitality, which is not only evident on the way, but also in the holiday home. Some accommodation providers therefore offer a shuttle service so that you can travel to your holiday destination without a car. In addition, you can rent bicycles or skis from some landlords. If you don't want to worry about breakfast, it's best to book it in addition to your holiday apartment.

Tyrol is a federal state in the west of Austria and borders south on Italy, north on Bavaria, west on the federal state of Vorarlberg and east on Salzburg. The provincial capital of Tyrol is Innsbruck, which is located in the west of the country. From Munich to Innsbruck the journey by car takes about two hours.

Tyrol is scenically shaped by the Alps, which is why you will find some "three thousand metre peaks" here. The highest mountains in the region are the Ortler with 3,905 metres altitude difference, the 3,851 metre high Königsspitze and the Großglockner with 3,798 metres altitude difference. Tyrol is also divided into North and East Tyrol, with North Tyrol comprising the Außerfern, Oberland and Unterland regions. The landscape in East Tyrol is characterised by the Iseltal, the Lienzer Talboden and the Osttiroler Oberland.

Austria's largest nature reserve, the Hohe Tauern National Park, runs through the Austrian provinces of Tyrol, Salzburg and Carinthia. There you will find a grandiose high mountain landscape and some excursion destinations such as the Großglockner High Alpine Road, the high mountain reservoirs Kaprun and the Krimml Waterfalls.

There are endless hiking trails through Tyrol, which will let you forget your everyday life and enjoy the moment. Whether short distances or hikes lasting several days, along the Adlerweg in East Tyrol you will find everything your heart desires. The routes through the Pitztal and those to the Achensee are also very beautiful.

The possibilities for skiing, tobogganing or snowboarding that Tyrol offers you in winter are unique and can be found in large numbers. Tyrol has a total of 78 ski resorts, where around 3,400 kilometres of pistes of all levels of difficulty await you for fun downhill runs.

In Tyrol there are cool mountain streams and remote mountain lakes, which are not only a feast for the eyes when hiking, but also invite you to jump into the cool water. In particular the Achensee, which is the largest water body in the country, should be mentioned here. The fjord-like mountain lake is often referred to as the "Tyrolean Sea". Here you can swim, paddle or surf, and all this with a fantastic panoramic view of the Alps.
