Ski holidays Thaur - winter fun near the big city!

Thaur

This idyllic village lies at an altitude of 633 metres, surrounded by unique mountain scenery at the foot of the Nordkette mountain range. Only ten kilometres separate the village from the centre of the Tyrolean capital, Innsbruck. Thaur, where tradition is very important, is not only known for its nativity scene carvers, but is also considered "Tyrol's largest vegetable garden". With its cultural offerings, this cosy village stands out from the usual winter sports resorts. However, only ruins remain of the village's landmark, Thaur Castle. Nearby is a very beautiful ski area with mostly medium-difficulty runs on the Glungezer. After a strenuous day on the slopes, various restaurants and coffee houses in Thaur invite you to relax and linger.

Ski Region Innsbruck

The ski region around Tyrol's capital Innsbruck is surrounded by a stunningly beautiful mountain backdrop. Innsbruck offers the unique opportunity to spend your holiday in one of Europe's most beautiful cities and yet be almost "in the middle of the ski area" – an ideal destination for anyone who wants to combine their skiing holiday with culture! As the venue for the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics, the ski resorts enjoy a first-class international reputation. In addition to a multitude of sights in Innsbruck itself, the surrounding area also has a lot to offer. For example, the pilgrimage church of St. Peter and St. Paul is a special feature with its architecture and acoustics. An alternative destination is Ambras Castle, which is located above Innsbruck and is one of the most famous sights in the provincial capital.
