TRINS: THE AUSTRIAN TYROL

South of Innsbruck among the green meadows of the Gschnitzal Valley lies Trins, a charming town with authentic Tyrolean buildings and easy access to some wonderful walking. On our journey through ancient villages filled with onion-domed churches, we learn why Tyroleans are so justifiably proud of their homeland, as we enjoy wonderful views across this mountainous paradise. Making use of the cable cars and efficient local buses, we can reach charming Trunahutte (1722m) for a lunchtime barbecue or enjoy a scenic walk to Obernbergersee Lake (1600m) where we see St Nikolaus church perched on a hill in the middle of the valley. Thanks to such a large of variety of walks, two grades are offered in the same week on certain dates (see Dates & Prices page). Based in our welcoming and comfortable hotel, we enjoy many sumptious courses of traditional Tyrolean cuisine including the locally renowned Knodel (dumplings) and Grostl (roasted potatoes).
