The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Tirol, Austrian Alps

October 5, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

Once known as The Land of the Mountains, the 10,000-square-mile province of Tirol is a wonderland of gushing rivers, lush meadows and rugged peaks. Fantastic hiking trails wind along paths through the Zillertal Alps. Famed resort towns confetti the mountainsides, including Kitzbühel, St. Anton, Ischgl and Seefeld, site of some events in the 1964 and 1976 Winter Games. Compact capital Innsbruck is a medieval gem. The Tirolean identity is strong: Expect to see lederhosen and feathered hats.

Grossglockner

Austria's highest mountain and centrepiece of the High Tauern National Park You can approach the Grossglockner in many different ways: it is the highest mountain of the Alpine Republic, one of the most striking elevations in the Eastern Alps and the summit of passion for many a mountaineer. The mountain is also home to people, numerous animals and rare plants. The Glockner is cloaked in secrecy, is the stuff of legend and has great attractive power. It is an obstacle on the path from north to south, yet a place where it has been overcome through the millennia. Join us and get to know his majesty, the Grossglockner, in his numerous aspects!

Reviewed By Deanellis1 - London, United Kingdom

I visited Mayrhofen in January and booked my ski instruction through SMT, My ski instructor was Frederik Johannessen. Not having skied previously I was a little apprehensive but very excited, I need not have been concerned. Frederik was an excellent instructor and took me through the basics and I was soon learning how to ski under control. By the end of the week I was negotiating blue and red slopes with confidence and control, Frederik was patient and his level of instruction was second to none, he is a credit to SMT and I hope to return soon to continue my learning with Frederik.

St. Anton

One of the more popular ski resorts in the Tirols.

Reviewed By steadsy - Blyth, United Kingdom

.....but does the person who does the colour grading of pistes have colour-blindness. Most blue runs in the main area have very steep red bits (esp. pistes 50 and 100), reds are very steep and yet some of the blacks are easily do-able. The snow was excellent when we were there so we ventured over to Lech/Zurs via Stuben and the Trittkopf gondolas with very steep top end. The very steep red piste 144, in Zurs, is brilliant and a must if you like a challenge with a long, shallow 1km schuss at the bottom.

Alpbach

This ski resort is located in a small village known for its friendly atmosphere.

This is an update on the closed forum from 2012 regarding getting from Innsbruck Airport to Alpbach without paying a fortune. It is remarkably easy! I’ve just done it with my 10 year old daughter. 1. Get the bus from just outside the door of the airport (stand F) to Innsbruck Haubtbahnhof(Hbf) - the main train station. It’a cheaper if you buy your tickets from the little machine at the bus stop (€2.50). 2.At the station buy tickets from the machine for Brixlegg Bahnhof (€15.80) - loads of trains... 3. Catch the 4074 bus from right outside the door of the station for Inneralpbach (not the one going the other way to Radfeld). Ask for Alpbach Boglerhof - this is the most convenient stopping point within the village. The amount of information available at the stops and on the trains and buses was brilliant. It’s also a good idea to download the “Scotty” app from ÖBB - it gives all train and bus times in a really easy to use format. If you’re concerned about doing this journey don’t be - it really is remarkably easy and will save you paying through the nose for an airport shuttle. Good luck!

This is on a hill and can be accessed by a cable in Innsbruck, Austria and the most popular annual ski jumping competition is conducted here and this well built ski jumping track is even visible from the highway nearby. Jumpers doing ski jumping is quiet a sight, the rythum and the speed of their movement along the track is a joy.

I have been visiting Mayrhofen Summer and Winter since 1980’s. The walking trails are brilliant. Easy to follow, regular stopping places to admire the view, different levels of ability. It is fun catching the bus to Branberg then walking back down along the Zillertal valley.
