Hiking around Mösern in the Seefeld area of Austria Tirol is, in a word: fantastic!
A little while ago we visited the Tirol region of western Austria, one of the most stunning areas in Europe.
And we were lucky to find a great place to stay, the Nidum Casual Luxury Hotel.
In this video I’d like to give you a flavour of our experience in Tirol.
So, I’ll show you the mountains to the west of Innsbruck and take you round a typical mountain lake in Tirol, I’ll give you a quick tour of the hotel where we stayed, you’ll hear a very large bell, and finally I’ll take you on a hike with the most amazing views of this Winter Olympics region.
Now, if you’re wondering where Tirol is, well, it’s in the western bit of Austria and it’s sort of sandwiched between Italy and Germany.
We decided to investigate the Eiszeit -or Ice Age - Trail.
The Eiszeit Trail itself is very well marked and maintained and there are numerous information boards at stops along the way with information in German, Italian and English.
At this one we learned about the huge pressure exerted on the land by the thick layers of ice and there’s an interactive element to play with too.
And at this one we learned how ice carved out glacial valleys among the mountains of the Seefeld high plateau over almost 1 million years whilst at the same time we admired the actual mountains in front of us. As we got higher the views became steadily more spectacular with views opening up across the Wettersteingebirge, or Wetterstein Mountains, a range popular with mountaineers and climbers.
A little further on and we finally reached the highlight at the end of the trail, the Himmelskino or Sky Theater platform.
You get a fabulous view across Austria’s Winter Olympics region from here.
The platform is quite large and there’s plenty of room to sit down and rest. And we were happy to have such good weather with very good visibility. I felt like I could almost reach out and touch the mountains across the valley.
