Mountains and valleys, forests and meadows, lakes and glaciers – Tirol is home to a unique natural landscape. In order to protect this beauty, many local regions are committing themselves to an environmentally-friendly philosophy known as soft tourism.
From travelling to your destination to the accommodation itself as well as, of course, the activities and food you enjoy during your time in Tirol – these are just some of the many things where an environmentally-aware approach to tourism can make a big difference. Instead of arriving by car, why not take the train? Many hotels offer shuttle services from the nearest railway station. Accommodation providers have also made a big effort in recent years to offer a more sustainable holiday experience. Produce is sourced from farmers and other suppliers in the region. Activities are designed to minimise the impact on the landscape. Resources are used as sparingly and efficiently as possible. All with the aim of preserving the wonderful nature with which we have been blessed here in Tirol. The regions Seefeld, Kaunertal, Alpbachtal, St. Johann, Kufsteinerland and Pitztal are leading the way when it comes to looking after the environment and are all working towards achieving the Austrian Ecolabel for Tourism Destinations. Their vision is a Clean Alpine Region (CLAR) – for the benefit of the environment and the people in Tirol.
