Ski holidays Thaur - winter fun near the big city!

Thaur

This idyllic village lies at an altitude of 633 metres, surrounded by unique mountain scenery at the foot of the Nordkette mountain range. Only ten kilometres separate the village from the centre of the Tyrolean capital, Innsbruck. Thaur, where tradition is very important, is not only known for its nativity scene carvers, but is also considered "Tyrol's largest vegetable garden". With its cultural offerings, this cosy village stands out from the usual winter sports resorts. However, only ruins remain of the village's landmark, Thaur Castle. Nearby is a very beautiful ski area with mostly medium-difficulty runs on the Glungezer. After a strenuous day on the slopes, various restaurants and coffee houses in Thaur invite you to relax and linger.
