Austrian Tirol is a beautiful winter paradise, filled with events and activities. Many tourists come here on holiday and rent ski chalets as their holiday accommodation. When staying in holiday rentals in Tirol, these holiday makers can try skiing in the world-class winter resorts. Sipping a drink in ice bar, to skiing down the valley, to snuggling up within the reindeer skins in an igloo, to hurtling down on rails, all is accessible throughout the winter months in Tirol.
When it comes to enjoying the winter sports in Tirol, you can try snowboarding or skiing in the fabulous glaciers for all year skiing with guaranteed snow. A vast majority of the resorts provides snow-white packages. In addition, you can also fly down to the Moseralm valley over the Fisser Flieger, the first four-person hang glider of the world. The ride is suspended onto the steel cable, which takes the passengers from the altitude of about 1900m, above 700m in height at a breath taking speed of 80 km per hour, down to Moseralm, with a vertical descent of approximately 47m.
Another great thing to do inTirol is trying the Alpine Coaster, since it is the highest coaster in Alps, beginning at a height of about 1500m. The best way to do this is to take it via skis, since the sledges travel along at a great speed with chrome rails in the midst of snowy mounds, trees and at different heights from the ground.

The average temperature inside the Ice House is minus 5 degrees, while the liquids are supplied in frozen ice glasses. The area also has a great night life and so when you have had a hard day on the ski slopes, you can then relax by partying the night away. That is one of the good things about renting self catering holiday accommodation in the Tirol.
