Climbing in East Tyrol’s largest ice park
Climbing with a particularly impressive ice park – that’s what the Icepark Osttirol promises. Austria’s largest artificial ice climbing garden is located directly at the Matreier Tauernhaus, offering various routes. Mountain guides are at your side offering workshops and accompanying you through the spectacular ice scenery.
Gliding through the Virgental on a sleigh
East Tyrol and the Virgental are also very popular with sledding and tobogganing fans. Race through the snow-covered scenery wrapped up in warm clothing – partially even with lighting. A shuttle service transports all ages to the starting points of the respective runs.
The 3.9-km-long natural toboggan run Bodenalm, for example, runs from the Bodenalm to the Wallhorn and is suitable for the entire family. Another option – the illuminated route from the Würfelehütte to Virgen. You can borrow toboggans for this just over two-kilometre-long route directly at the hut, but you need to bring the courage for this ride through the valley yourself. The rustic hut offers East Tyrolean specialties or delicious ribs as a reward.
