With its impe-
rial architecture
and mountains on all
sides, Innsbruck
has a unique claim to
be the capital of the
Alps (p46).2
Classic Tyrolean
scenery in the
Zillertal’s val-
leys creates a natural
arena for hiking, rock-
climbing and yodel-
ling too (p48).3
Fuel up for one
of Europe’s
most legendary
drives: the soaring
Grossglockner
High Alpine
Road (p50).4
Beneath the
mountains
of Salzburger-
land a world of fro-
zen grandeur opens
up to explorers (p52).5
Finish your trip
by unwinding
in the Austrian
Lake District,
where sailing boats
pass in the shadow of
the peaks (p54).
