There are plenty of reasons why millions of people head to Tyrol in Austria every year for their annual ski holidays - the region is simply bursting with things to see and do. This spectacular state is a firm favourite with winter sports enthusiasts and no wonder - situated in the heart of the Alps it offers the perfect conditions for a ski trip almost all year round, meaning you do not have to worry if you only have time to spare off-season. When you look out of the window of your holiday chalet, the view you are met with is simply breathtaking - snow-capped peaks standing tall over traditional wooden houses nestled in the thick snow. Many people enjoy spending their time away from the slopes simply walking and enjoying these beautiful surroundings, while taking in all the fresh alpine air. Tyrol is well established as a prime destination for skiing - with its capital Innsbruck hosting the Winter Olympics twice. As a result, the region has the best possible facilities you could want for a week spent on the slopes. However, if you really want to test your nerves, you could head to the jaw-droppingly tall ski jump on Bergisel hill. And when you do pack up your skis and see what is waiting for you away from the piste you will find there is plenty to keep you occupied. The Old City of Innsbruck will give you a real sense of the history of this city nestled in the heart of the Alps, while the Goldenes Dachl - or Golden Roof - is a particularly eye-catching landmark. Hundreds of gilded copper tiles glisten in the sun from their spot on the front of the International Alpine Convention's Office. Venturing further afield, the historic city of Kufstein is a particular draw with tourists, many of whom flock to see the huge and ancient fortress that lies in the middle of the valley.
