Luxury doesn\u2019t always have to be grand and opulent: if you focus on the essentials, you can find it in the (supposedly) little things in life too \u2013 in those moments of peace, those experiences that stimulate all the senses, or the sheer wonder of nature. The Innsbruck region offers these in abundance, in a wealth of different ways \u2013 especially if you take the four elements as your guide in your hunt for true treasure: water, air, fire and earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water: feel refreshed<\/strong>
On a hot summer\u2019s day, the simple sensation of plunging into cool water can sometimes feel like the ultimate luxury. If that\u2019s the kind of thing you\u2019re longing to do to cool off, then the Innsbruck region has plenty of places inviting you to dive right in: there are various outdoor pools, for example, like the Telfer Bad, which offers a range of facilities perfect for the whole family. And there are bathing lakes galore \u2013 including the Lanser See, idyllically set in unique natural surroundings. For a different kind of reinvigoration and the chance to completely unwind from head to toe, you could try Kneipp therapy: this therapeutic water treatment stimulates your circulation, boosts your immune system and generally gives you a new lease of life. You can discover this for yourself at a dedicated Kneipp therapy facility, such those in Gries im Sellrain and Igls, or in some of the local streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air: pause for breath<\/strong>
Stopping every once in a while to catch your breath is good for your body, mind and soul. And there is no better place to do this than up in the mountains, perhaps on the Zirbenweg (Stone Pine Trail): perched at around 2,000 metres above sea level, here you will find not only fresh, invigorating mountain air, but also an inviting sense of peace and tranquillity \u2013 thanks to the pleasant fragrance of the trees (some of which are hundreds of years old) that lend their name to this hiking trail between the Patscherkofel and the Glungezer. A trip up to the Sonnkark\u00f6pfl is an equally breathtaking experience, though fortunately not in a literal sense: starting from the Pfaffenhofer Alm mountain inn, this moderately difficult route takes you up to the summit at almost 2,250 metres before guiding you back down across sweeping meadows of alpine roses. Conscious breathing is also what it\u2019s all about at the yoga sessions held on the Rangger K\u00f6pfl: sun salutations just flow that bit more smoothly against the stunning backdrop of the Kalkk\u00f6gel mountain chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire: wrap yourself in warmth<\/strong>
Fire stands for heat, energy and passion \u2013 and you can certainly find all this on a holiday in the Innsbruck region. After satisfying your thirst for sporting action and adventure, what better way to recharge than by spending a day at a spa? You can do this at the Hotel dasMEI in Mutters, for example, or at the Alpenresort Schwarz in Mieming, which welcomes day guests at its spa too. If your favourite way to replenish your energy is by basking in the sun, then Innsbruck\u2019s Nordkette mountains are the place for you: the Seegrube stands at an altitude of almost 2,000 metres, but it only takes around 30 minutes to get there straight from the city centre by cable car \u2013 and not for nothing is it known as the highest sun terrace in Innsbruck. There is also an extra special sight to behold here on 21 June, when the Sonnwendfeuer \u2013 traditional midsummer bonfires \u2013 cast their glow across the mountains above the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earth: return to roots<\/strong>
Even when you\u2019re enjoying the freedom of being on holiday, it\u2019s important to keep your feet on the ground. A barefoot hike in the Viggartal valley, where you can wander through lush grass and spongy moss with your toes touching every natural texture, will bring you down to earth. For an even more immersive experience of the alpine landscape, try forest bathing: all you have to do is enter the woodland world and let the wonderful sensations all around you work their magic, like the rush of the wind or the rustling of the leaves. Some of the best spots for slowing down like this and getting in touch with nature are the oak forest in Stams or the mixed forests in the Kochental valley, which are perfect places for clearing your mind and soothing your soul. And if you fancy spending the night in a forest or meadow too, the Innsbruck region is not short of campsites \u2013 including the Gerhardhof site in Wildermieming or the camping facilities at the Ferienparadies Natterer See resort, where you can feel Mother Nature at your fingertips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
