New accommodation in Tirol for summer 2021

Last updated on 14.04.2021

Tirol’s hotels, campsites and the like are eagerly waiting to finally open their doors again this summer. During the lockdown many have been hard at work renovating their rooms and creating new highlights for visitors when they return. Health and safety, of course, continues to be the number one priority for both staff and guests. With the new situation created by the pandemic, many accommodation providers have not only developed comprehensive Covid-secure hygiene concepts but also come up with flexible cancellation conditions to minimise the financial risks of booking a holiday.

Newly renovated rooms and 400m² indoor play area at the JUFA Hotel
For almost 15 years the JUFA Hotel in the Wipptal Valley has been one of the most successful businesses in the region. In recent months the hotel has renovated all 80 rooms and expanded its spa and gym area. New for the 2021 summer season is an indoor adventure playground on several levels. This play area has been designed to tie in with the popular “Tunnel Worlds” exhibition in nearby Gries am Brenner about the construction of the Brenner Base Tunnel (BBT). The adventure playground features a tunnel-boring machine which kids can climb on, a cool tunnel slide and a separate area for toddlers. The playground is open not only to guests staying at the JUFA Hotel but also to other children in the region.
