The longer the days, the more you want to savour every second \u2013 especially while on holiday. The Innsbruck region, with its alpine-urban ambience, offers a wide variety of opportunities as there\u2019s always a reason to be outdoors in summer: from hiking adventures at \u2013 literally \u2013 the highest level to cultural performances in the open air or atmospheric nights under the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Take a hike<\/strong>
Hiking is in many ways the most \u201cnatural\u201d way to discover the Alpine beauty of the Innsbruck region. For (budding) summiteers there is, among many others, the popular Zirbenweg trail (Swiss stone pine trail): located high over the capital of Tyrol at around 2,000 metres above sea level, it leads \u2013 as the name suggests \u2013 through one of Europe\u2019s oldest Swiss stone pine forests. There are also magnificent panoramas to be seen around the age-old mountaineering villages of the Sellraintal Valley, making them a highly attractive destination in summer, especially thanks to the brightly flowering Alpine meadows that surround them. And, if you don\u2019t feel up to tackling a tour on your own, there\u2019s no need to despair: the guided hikes in the summer activity programme, available with the free Welcome Card for guests, are sure to offer something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. On your bike<\/strong>
If you want to explore Innsbruck and its surrounding areas in a slightly brisker fashion, it\u2019s best to get on your bike. For example, the Mieming Plateau\u2019s \u201cCycle & Savour\u201d cycle path lets you not only discover marvellous landscapes, but also a variety of regional delicacies \u2013 all thanks to the various direct outlets and inns that serve up their specialities along the route. E-bikers have even more options \u2013 not least thanks to the summer activity programme, which includes numerous guided e-bike tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Making a splash<\/strong>
Keeping a cool head is all the more important when the temperature soars \u2013 so it\u2019s as well that you don\u2019t have to spend too long on dry land in the Innsbruck region. Idyllic bathing lakes, such as that at Untermieming, or the Lanser See (noted for its water quality) offer the chance of a refreshing dip, as do the family-friendly adventure pools such as the Tivoli outdoor pool or the V\u00f6lser Badl. If you prefer action to (active) relaxation, we recommend city rafting \u2013 a city tour down the River Inn \u2013 or Up Stream Surfing, where you can conquer the river\u2019s wild waters on a surfboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Seeing the sights<\/strong>
Innsbruck is home to many unique sights: one of the most impressive is the Imperial Court Church, where 28 larger-than-life bronze figures guard the (empty) tomb of the Emperor Maximilian. Of similar cultural significance is the magnificent Ambras Castle, considered to be the oldest museum in the world owing to its precious and historic collections. Not far from the castle is another city landmark, this time modern: the Bergisel ski jump, designed by the late architectural genius Zaha Hadid. While the structure itself is a real eye-catcher, it also offers breathtaking views over the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Unmissable events<\/strong>
There\u2019s never a dull moment in the Innsbruck region, as testified by the numerous exciting events on offer. For example, the Innsbruck Promenade Concerts, held from 5 to 28 July, are ideal for balmy summer evenings, as various orchestras and ensembles fill the imposing inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace with their tones. A fine spectacle is also once more to be seen from 6 July to 17 August this year at the Tyrolean Folk Theatre Festival in Telfs, delighting audiences again with performances on the open-air stage on the Birkenberg. Telfs will also be hosting the Hill Vibes Reggae Festival from 24 to 27 July, where visitors can enjoy a family-friendly programme to the sound of cool beats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Culinary delights<\/strong>
Foodies and gourmets are sure to relish the Innsbruck region, as its hostelries, restaurants and mountain inns all offer a rich variety of tasty dishes. You can sample this for yourself on the Innsbruck Foodtours: accompanied by a local, visitors will get to know the finer points of Tyrolean cuisine on a walk through the city. The Nordkette picnic also promises something to savour at literally the highest level: a pre-packed rucksack awaits you on the Seegrube at an altitude of almost 2,000 metres \u2013 containing such treats as smoked ham and mountain cheese, it\u2019s the perfect way to enjoy a hearty snack in the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Camping under the stars<\/strong>
What could be finer than a night spent under the stars in the great outdoors? It\u2019s an experience offered by all the campsites in the Innsbruck region, including the Natterer See lake, a holiday paradise, or the Gerhardhof at Wildermieming. Both campsites have plenty of pitches for tents and mobile homes, as well as numerous amenities such as modern sanitary facilities, play areas and swimming pools \u2013 and even glamping options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
