Timeshares as Alternative Accommodations
If you're a frequent traveler and are looking for the best accommodations, maybe it's time to buy timeshare for yourself. Unlike days past, today's timeshares are flexible and exchangeable so that you can look forward to welcoming accommodations nearly everywhere you'd like to travel. For the habitual traveler, they're a good way to get great accommodations every time.
As a camping destination, Austria is a country that is often unfairly overlooked in favour of its larger neighbour, Germany. But Austria is a delightful place to explore on a camping holiday, especially in the Western region known as the Tyrol. Tyrol is home to the most stunning scenery in Austria, and it is a haven for walkers, trekkers and cyclists.
Charming Cities
Whilst anyone camping in West Austria will naturally be spending most of their time in the countryside, visitors shouldn’t miss out on the towns and cities of the region. Innsbruck, the capital of the region, is a delightful city surrounded by the Alps. The medieval Old Town is the most enjoyable place to explore in the city, with the stunning Golden Roof the most famous sight in the city. The Imperial Palace and the Mausoleum of Maximilian I are two of the other main attractions of a visit to Innsbruck.

Away from Innsbruck, Kitzbühel and Ehrwald are both well worth a visit. Kitzbühel is located in a splendid valley, and is renowned as a key wintersports destination. But it is of equal interest in the summer, with horse riding and golf being popular activities to enjoy amidst the breathtaking surroundings. Ehrwald is one of the most picturesque towns in this part of Austria; if you are camping near here, be sure to visit and catch the cable car to the top of the Zugspitze for unforgettable views out over the nearby mountains and glaciers.
Natural Splendour
The real highlight of camping in Austria is the spectacular landscape, and nowhere is this more true than in the Tyrol. Long renowned as a Mecca for skiers, hikers, climbers and cyclists, this is a landscape of stunning mountain vistas, glaciers, pine forests and beautiful lakes.
The mountains of Tyrol act as both a dramatic backdrop and a main attraction for the region. With over 700 mountains over 10,000ft there are plenty of peaks and valleys for keen walkers to explore – Wildspitze (3774m), Klienglockner (3770m) and Weisskugel (3738m) are the region’s tallest peaks, and the main objectives for avid trekkers and climbers. Innsbruck is the centre of information for walkers, and should be the first stop off point for anyone looking to learn more. Many of the campsites in Austria will also be able to provide visitors with more information on local walking trails.
Away from the mountains, Lake Achen is the other real natural highlight for those camping in Austria’s Tyrol region. The water is over 100 metres deep and is crystal clear, and the lake itself is ringed by Tyrolean mountains – it truly is a breathtaking sight. The best way to get there is via the old cogwheel steam train from Jenbach, the Achensee Bahn, and following that up with a ferry tour of the lake itself.
If you want to enjoy charming medieval cities, remote mountain towns, and some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe, you certainly won’t regret a camping holiday in Austria!
