Tyrol Travel Blogs

Background: Once the center of power for the large Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria was reduced to a small republic after its defeat in World War I. Following annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938 and subsequent occupation by the victorious Allies in 1945, Austria's status remained unclear for a decade. A State Treaty signed in 1955 ended the occupation, recognized Austria's independence, and forbade unification with Germany. A constitutional law that same year declared the country's "perpetual neutrality" as a condition for Soviet military withdrawal. Following the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 and Austria's entry into the European Union in 1995, some Austrians have called into question this neutrality. A prosperous, democratic country, Austria entered the Economic and Monetary Union in 1999.

Cloudy Innsbruck

 Europe » Austria » Tyrol » Innsbruck
Hello one and all, moved over to Innsbruck on Tuesday. Great train ride, very comfortable :) Today is Thursday 22 May, just using a little spare time I have before I catch a bus to another attraction! Arrived at my hotel and I told Amy that I am competing with her tiny room at the backpackers in Hamilton she uses when on her Vet Nursing block courses! The tiny room happened to be at the front of the hotel which in Aldstadt and the buildings are about 20m apart. I was on the 5th floor and didn't have a good sleep [View Full Entry]

Let's Make Apres-Ski!

 Europe » Austria » Tyrol
It has been two weeks since our return to home sweet Innsbruck. By the end of our journey to eastern europe Jenna and Kathy were eagerly looking forward to seeing the mountains once again. Who knew that one could miss huge chunks of rock so much? We arrived to a week filled with excruciatingly boring classes in which we hash over the "tourism product" and the importance of "exceeding customer's expectations", over and over again. After 4 eight-hour school days we were ready for some change. On saturday we picked up Kristen Wallace (a fellow guelpher, RA and exchange student to [View Full Entry]

St. Anton: Making the Apres-ski

We crossed into Austria under the shadow of the Zugspitze and worked our way through the winter wonderland down to the main valley to reach Innsbrueck. Down in the valley the snow had turned to rain, but we made the best of it because we anyway needed a place to pause in order to decide where to go snowboarding. The original plan was that Olaf, a friend of Vivi's from Nuernberg, was going to join us for the weekend, so we were waiting on his recommendation and what suited him driving-wise. The SMS came through that Kitzbuehel was nice, so we [View Full Entry]

Lunta tulloo

 Europe » Austria » Tyrol » Sankt Anton am Arlberg
Terkkuja taas Alpeilta! SunSkin matkat loppuivat jo ja seuraa pitäneet oppaat lähtivät Suomeen. Outoa että kysyntää ei riitä kun pääsiäinenkin vielä edessä. Tosin kaikki menee varmaan Lappiin tms. Ja kun täällä riittäis tätä lunta vaikka kuinka pitkäks aikaa. Viime viikolla tänne tuli käymään muutama kaveri Suomesta, oli kyllä kiva nähä tuttuja tällasessa ympäristössä. Heille alkuviikolla aurinko paistoi mutta viime tiistaista asti on satanut lunta jokaisena päivänä, noin puolimetriä varmaan tullut lisää viikon sisällä. Ja ennusteen mukaan lunta tulee vielä tämän viikon loppuun saakka. Oo [View Full Entry]
