TYROL If You Could Bottle Everything That Sums up Austria © Lonely Planet Publications 329 Tyrol If you could bottle everything that sums up Austria surely Tyrol would be it: from the woodsy log chalets and wholesome food to the thigh-slapping tradition and alpine peaks rising like shark fins in a frothy white ocean. Few places can match it on a winter’s day, with a big sky above, dazzling snow crunching underfoot and bracing mountain air filling your lungs. No wonder the locals are notoriously proud and independent. Who wouldn’t be with all that? There are plenty of reasons to fall for Tyrol: the people are down-to-earth, sincere and marvellously eccentric; the cities such as Innsbruck and Kufstein are gems (overshadowed by frosty mountains and complete with precipitous castles and medieval backstreets); the schnapps is potent; the powder deep; and the culture a happy marriage of old and new – shifting from rural farms and cobbled alleyways to Zen-like spas and crystalline edifices. But it’s the Alps that steal the show in a ‘wow I’m in Austria’ kind of way and nowhere else are they more prominent or accessible. Tyrol is a beauty with bumps and curves in all the right places, with resorts like Kitzbühel where you can find your ski legs, Mayrhofen where they’ll turn to jelly on black runs, and St Anton where you can get legless in après-ski bars before wobbling down the valley. When sunshine spills across the green vales in summer, walks stretch from gentle strolls to week-long tramps over windswept passes where, with any luck, you might spot an eagle: Tyrol’s most famous yet elusive high-flyer. Tyrol’s eastern region, Osttirol (East Tyrol), is cut off from the rest of the province by Salzburg and is covered in the Hohe Tauern National Park Region chapter ( p323 ).

The natural landscape provokes artists to revive it with architecture. Architects overcome technical limitations, physiographic, customary more or less picturesquely incorporating their works into the richness of natural forms. Many benefits come from this recklessness for the region. The hit trend is also appreciated for the triumph of technical thought. It puts into confusion at once because of the gradual takeover of the natural environment. The aim of the work is to search for solutions that would help preserve the beauty of the mountain environment and at the same time make the widest group of recipients available. Analyzing the above issues, the comparative method was used, presenting achievements in the field of high-altitude objects design in extreme physiographic conditions, implemented in the Alps region. The region has a developed ski and tourist infrastructure. It is an example of maintaining moderation and specific character, despite growing new needs and expectations from tourists and sportsmen. However, it is not free from the over-investment trap. 1 Preface Clean glaciers, lakes, quiet valleys, deep ravines, animals leaving the hiding place in search of food, human footprints only on hiking trails, peaceful villages. More than a century ago amateurs of such mountains are now looking for contact with nature in romantic huts in a remote area.

  • 5 Go Mad in Austria
    5 go mad in Austria. escape v. 1. get free of restriction or control by fleeing or exertion. 2. get clear away from. Last year (2006) in what my family and friends called a "late life crisis" ( my 50th birthday ) I packed up my BMW R1200GS and headed off to the Alps in search of paradise and no I didn’t come home with a Bounty, I came back to N. Ireland after 2 weeks away with an exhausted bank account, 30 of the major Alpine passes covered in 4,000 miles and a very, very wide smile. This smile was so obvious to my biking colleagues in the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service that most of them wanted in on the next trip, so when I bumped into Klaus Stubenbock at the Motorcycle Show in the N.E.C. in November 2006 it seemed too good to be true. Klaus looked like a hyper Pixie in Austrian traditional Lederhosen at his stand in the touring section of the Show and quickly convinced me that there was a better way to see the Alps on a bike than riding my own all the way there and back as well as being a lot more cost and time efficient (It had cost me over £700 and 3 days riding each way to get to Austria from N. Ireland on my own bike). After talking it over with my workmates and costing it all out, 5 of us took the plunge in February and booked our flights from Dublin to Friedrichshafen in Southern Germany with Ryanair for the 2nd week in September.
