Top 10 Free Things to do in Tirol, Austrian Alps
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.

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!

Great views at the end of the street from any stage of the street of the mountains, lots of shops and restaurants, Konditorei's coffee bars, it even has a Hard Rock Café, friendly people, friendly shops, one of the nicest shopping areas in Europe. It has something for everyone, simply has to be done.

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.

We came here for a day trip in the summer and loved it - the location is so beautiful, very scenic. We parked in Pertisau and were lucky to find parking along the lake. From there it was a short walk to the boats - you can take a round trip or a one-way trip for a various length of time - we were here with two small children so opted for a 40-minute round trip around the lake and that was perfect. Once you're on the boat you can order ice-cream and coffees etc - this is quite highly priced as you would expect, but it's part of the experience. Absolutely beautiful location and we can't wait to return and spend more time here.

Magnificent city in mountain valley, fully remained it medieval atmosphere. Much less tourist than in others advertised places, very friendly, cozy, nice city. The hundred years old buildings, narrow streets and medieval towers on the mountains background - it worth to visit! A lot of museums and palaces available - or simply walk through pedestrian zone.

We loved this. I had no idea this was at the top of the trail to the highline and this was my highlight. We had just gone to Neuschwanstein and boy I was not into that experience. THIS, though, WAS SO COOL> Very old ruins. And the stories about the stone worm and more. Just a cool place. Magical actually! I just felt like we don't have history likje this to touch in the US, except where some Native American stuff has been actually kept but mainly it is rebuilt examples, not the real thing. This was real and so cool. Beautiful. Long walk up kind of 20 minutes maybe? But steepish. It alone is free but you have to pay to park. And you have to pay for the highline.

Fantastic walk, beautiful and interesting experience. Kinda scary sometimes for someone who'a afraid of heights. And the little creek at the bottom is soooo beautifully blue. Recommended.
