Mountain bikers should head to the beautiful Tiroler Zugspitz Arena
For keen cyclists after challenging trails, the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena has plenty, 4,330 km to be precise. Located at the border of Austria and Germany, and comprising seven beautiful villages, there is a wide variety of downhill, high-altitude summits and winding paths to explore. An approved bike area since 2017 – after a rigorous assessment by TUV and ISO – the region has been designed with bikes in mind and has specialist hotels, more than 20 pre-prepared tours plus top rentals and services available. Those after a truly hair-raising descent should head to Lermoos (one of the seven villages) and check out the freeride scene consisting of jumps, ramps, curves and dirt tracks. Try the Forest Two route, which sees riders plunge down a 3.3 km course (with 392 metres vertical difference) while trying to avoid the various obstacles. Alternatively, put the pedal to the metal on the three-day Zugspitz Loop Tour, which provides access to more than 5,000 metres vertical and 200 kilometres of trails. A six-day summer lift pass costs from €60 per adult and from €20 per child (age 6-15).

Hikers can explore the renowned Eagle Walk
Symbolising an eagle spreading its wings when looking at a map, the 413 kilometre hiking trail, aptly named the Eagle Walk, spans the whole length of the country, from east to west. The route is broken up into 33 stages, with a total elevation gain of 31,000 metres, accommodating a variety of skill levels and preferences. From gentle walks across gorgeous landscapes to strenuous treks for enthusiasts, each section offers unparalleled opportunities to explore, experience and connect with nature. For spectacular views, many seasoned hikers choose to trek the 22nd, 23rd and 24th stages, from the Memminger Hut to St. Christoph am Arlberg. The three stages are 37 km in length and follow challenging black trails and takes three to four days to complete, staying at cosy huts on route. Make the most of the rolling Alpine meadows, the snow-capped mountains and sweeping views down the valley. Pause at Ulmer Hut, which provides a perfect rest stop, before continuing down into St. Christoph am Arlberg and celebrating the finish. Prices for the huts are on demand, but most include dinner and breakfast.

Snow sports fans can still ski, or snowboard, on the Hintertux Glacier
Less than 90 minutes from Innsbruck Airport, Austria’s only year-round ski resort offers winter-sports enthusiasts groomed and snow-sure conditions for 365 days.
