According to a recent survey of the local newspaper - Tirolier Tageszeitung , the tiroleans are the happiest people in the country, opposite to those from Burgenland that are considered the less happy. This is due to the magnificent landscape, says the public opinion. As we say in Bulgaria - "The mountains grow people, the plain - pumpkins"
During the travel to Tirol , Zillertal Valley we have found the hotel in a small town called Mayrhofen. It was quite good place to stay in as we could visit most of the placies in the area easily. There are also a good hotels' base there as there are a lot of hotels, pensions, appartments there.In Mayrhofen there are also a shops with the food, with the cosmetics and also the equipment for tourists and skiers in the winter as I suppose, pharmacy, cafes, restaurants and also the cinema and clubs with disco.It is a good place to stay at in the summer and winter.
These last years, many skiing areas have invested in extensive artificial snowmaking system to ensure sufficiant snow coverage on their slopes. Snow guns "shoot" water thanks to pressurised air which converted in snow with the low temperature (usually from -2°c). Maybe not too nature friendly as you need plenty of water (artificial lake to create or pump water from city network) and energy to produce noisly the white gold...
some distances:Innsbruck - Vienna ~470 kmInnsbruck - Salzburg ~ 180 kmInnsbruck - Klagenfurt ~ 380kmInnsbruck - Munich ~ 160kmInnsbruck - ***ing ~ 200km ;-) with good weather you have such fantastic views, you think you see 100 of kilometers far..and maybe it is like that...if there won´t be other mountains you surely could have a look until Vienna...;-) although I´m not sure if this is the right direction ......
the Ziller tal is located in the department of Tirol. The next big city is Innsbruck. In several little villages in the valley you find a lot of possibilities to stay ,as in e.g. Fügen, Hochfügen or Kaltenbach (places where I stayed and where are good places to do skiing as well....if there is enough snow) there is a little railway passing through the valley (Zillertal). We stayed jsut at the beginning of the valley and had to go to the end by train to climb up the glacier, every day about one hour travel to start the fun..but it was worth it!!
In one of our tours to Austria we´ve had that less snow that only the "Hintertux" glacier gave possibilites to go skiing. I haven´t been still teh best on skies, and a glacier means often a lot of places of poor ice.......and surely quite cold there at this altitude...but all stress of going there, the coldness etc was excused with excelent views
to show some winter impressions: pictures I took in Fügen, Kaltenbach and Hintertux, all in the Zillertal in Tirol/Austria.Have had always great time, with less snow you have to go to Hintertux, theré you´ve got almost always good conditions because of the altitude.look at my travelogues, if you want to see more, sorry, here I don´t have more detailed information for the moment.
Visit the village of Serfaus (about 50 km west of Innsbruck), which has the shortest metro line in the world. It stretches for fantastic 1500 metres and has four stops. The train is airborne like a hovercraft. The service is free in winter but not in summer. Well, I would pay nevertheless, just out of curiosity!
You haven't visited Austria if you only go once. You will truely experienced it if you (at least) go once in wintertime and once in summertime. The country (read 'the mountains') are so completely different in these two seasons. Not only the scenery, but all activities and even the atmosphere is changed by fresh snow and slippery ice or green meadows and flowers at balconies.
You really can do all what you wish what might have any connection with mountains Its Autumn and its Spring
