Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in Tyrol

Try to head up right when they open at 9 AM. The first few hours were less busy, and we had fresh powder to ourselves to enjoy!

If you're a beginner, consider hitting the slopes on weekdays. The trails are way less crowded, and it's easier to find space to practice.

Check the weather beforehand. I went on a cloudy day and missed the breathtaking views from the top. Clear days are so worth it!

Take the gondola ride to the top for stunning views, especially at sunset. My friends and I just loved the photos, and it's free if you have a day pass.

If you're a beginner, I'd suggest starting early, around 8:30 AM, to avoid long lines at the lifts and have the slopes to yourself for a bit. It's so worth it!

My advice is to try the local food at the mountain huts. I stumbled upon a small one that had the best Kaiserschmarrn! It's a nice break from skiing and the prices are often better than in the main towns.

If you're renting gear, go for a fitting on the first day instead of skiing. I waited and had to deal with an uncomfortable snowboard the whole time. It's not worth the pain when you can get comfy gear!

Check out the local shops for ski gear rentals instead of the big resort places; I saved a ton and got better service. Just make sure to book in advance, as the good stuff goes fast!

I suggest packing a lunch or snacks for the hill. The food options are pricey and not that great if you're out all day. A sandwich goes a long way!

If you're planning on snowkiting, try to hit the slopes before 10 AM. The snow is way better, plus you dodge the crowds. Midday is a mess with lessons and all that!

Don't forget to recharge your devices at the ski huts; I missed some stunning photo ops because my phone died. Also, the WiFi can be spotty, so be prepared!

If you're renting gear, check out the shops in town instead of at the resort... Prices can be a little lower, and you can take your time choosing! I learned this the hard way!

Make sure to have a solid lunch packed if you're skiing. The on-mountain restaurants can be packed and overpriced. I ended up waiting ages for just a sandwich

I suggest hitting the slopes early, like around 8:30 AM, to beat the crowds. It makes for a way smoother start, and you can get in so many more runs before the lifts get busy.

My advice is to buy your ski pass online ahead of time. I thought I could just get it on-site, but the lines can be really long, especially during peak season.

Check out the local eateries around town for lunch instead of the on-mountain spots. I found some cute places that were way cheaper and had delish options off the slopes

I think bringing your own snacks and drinks can save you some cash! The stores there have good hiking food options for the slopes, but the on-mountain prices were a bit steep.

I recommend getting a ski pass for multiple days if you’re planning to stay longer. It saves you a decent amount compared to day passes – I learned that the hard way on my first trip!
