Exploring Carinthia and East Tyrol

High mountain peaks that descend right down to
expansive lakes make these southernmost regions
of Austria a paradise for visitors. Excellent on-shore
facilities attract water sports enthusiasts, while the
mountain glaciers enable committed skiers to enjoy
the slopes even in summer. The loveliest parts of
the region are the scenic route of Grossglockner
Hochalpenstrasse and the Hohe Tauern National
Park. While Carinthia is a lake district, East Tyrol is
an inaccessible region of high mountains. In winter,
cars need to be properly equipped, and not all
roads are passable.
