Top 10 Scenic Drives in Tirol, Austrian Alps

March 13, 2022 Carley Gatson

Once known as The Land of the Mountains, the 10,000-square-mile province of Tirol is a wonderland of gushing rivers, lush meadows and rugged peaks. Fantastic hiking trails wind along paths through the Zillertal Alps. Famed resort towns confetti the mountainsides, including Kitzbühel, St. Anton, Ischgl and Seefeld, site of some events in the 1964 and 1976 Winter Games. Compact capital Innsbruck is a medieval gem. The Tirolean identity is strong: Expect to see lederhosen and feathered hats.

This is a must-do on a motorcycle, especially when there's still snow around. Great road and at the top you're treated with an outstanding motorcycle museum.

Stausee Durlassboden

Reviewed By mirthett - Deventer, The Netherlands

There are several options to park your car around the lake. We went for the location near a restaurant and boat rental. Though the stairs may seem to be a bit disencouranging, it was worth the effort. It was a great day at the lake, with stunning views and cooling (very cool) water to swim in. We had great summer weather and were able to hire a watercycle. There were also possibilities of boat rentals, SUPs and kayaks. I think this depends on the weather if they’ll be out there...

The Aktiv Card takes passengers as far a Ginzling, then an additional toll of 1.70 Euros is payable for the Mautstrasse the toll road which passes along a breathtaking narrow gorge, through tunnels and up through hairpin bends to the lake. The dam is awesome and the lakes is surrounded by mountains, glaciers and waterfalls. A stroll up the Zamsergrund is pleasant and not too strenuous.

Gerlos Alpenstrasse

Reviewed By Vissing - Stenloese, Denmark

The most beautiful road in Austria. Goes op and down and has a lot of lovely bends. Take a drive on your motorcycle on the road, it will put a smile on your face for sure. You do have to pay a roadtax, when you get close to the Krimml waterfall
