Top excursion destinations in winter

Skiing, cross-country skiing, tobogganing - all great in the Tyrolean mountains, but sometimes you need something else, right? No problem, Tyrol can do more than just the slopes: sparkling mountain lakes, bridges for those with a head for heights or even stand-up paddling on glacier ice. No two winter days are the same here - we promise.
