Hardly any other region in Europe is blessed with natural beauty like South Tyrol and Tyrol. The Alps form one of the most beautiful and impressive landscapes imaginable. Within short distances, you will find green valleys, dark forests, gentle alpine meadows, and rugged high mountain ranges. The number of natural jewels is almost endless, ranging from idyllic chestnut groves to high alpine glacier regions and the three-thousand-meter peaks on the main Alpine ridge.
Many of the natural beauties in Tyrol and South Tyrol bear resonant and well-known names: Rosengarten, Drei Zinnen, Wilder Kaiser, Seiseralm, Nordkette, Karwendel, Achensee, Ortler... Others are still insider tips and are waiting to be discovered by you. Some must be "earned" through a long hike, while others can be reached with a short walk or even directly by car.
Several areas are under special protection due to their uniqueness: In South Tyrol, there are a total of seven large nature parks, and since 2009, the Dolomites have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site; in Tyrol, we find five nature parks and the Hohe Tauern National Park. These protected areas also serve to preserve the delicate ecosystems of these unique landscapes.
(South)Tyrol's Beauties of Nature
A landscape full of jewels
Water is a formative force in the mountain landscapes: roaring glacier streams, waterfalls, gorges, canyons, wild rivers, and streams are among the most precious natural jewels, as are tranquil ponds and clear mountain lakes. Every season has its own special charm here: From spring, when nature awakens with all its might and vast expanses are covered in a sea of flowers, to winter, when a glittering blanket of snow envelops the land and many a stream or waterfall freezes into ice.
Discover the many natural beauties of this unique holiday region. Explore the wonders of nature on themed paths or on guided hikes, gain insight into highly specialized and sometimes very fragile ecosystems, marvel at the immense diversity of fauna and flora. The possibilities are manifold: you can simply enjoy the magic of nature in silence, but you can also let your creative side run free - for example, in a photo workshop - or even actively contribute to the preservation of these habitats through various volunteering projects.
Our tip:
The Alps are a complex and sensitive habitat. Therefore, take advantage of the opportunities for sustainable mobility and thus protect the environment. Offers such as the MobilCard South Tyrol are great and affordable alternatives to the car.
