Excursion Destinations in the Vicinity of See
Adventure-filled Holidays for the Entire Family in the Paznaun Valley, Tyrol
You would be hard pressed to run out of excursion destinations in the mountains that surround See. Chapels, alpine meadows, cabins and the neighbouring communities Ischgl, Galtür and Kappl offer a wide array of things to explore for the entire family.
Family-Friendly Destinations: Cabins and Alpine Meadow Inns in the Paznaun Region
Bring your kids and enjoy jolly hours on the alpine meadow inns and cabins in the Paznaun! Regardless of whether you’re partial to rustic cabins with open fireplaces or prefer modern designer alpine meadow inns – we offer something for every taste! Alpine meadow huts were originally installed to provide shelter during the summer cattle drives. When summer begins in the mountains, cows, sheep and horses are moved up into the Alps. At these high altitude locations in the Tyrolean mountains, the animals spend quiet summer days, feed on the herbs and grasses that grow in the meadows. This gives them strength and energy. The alpine farmers on the meadows produce delectable cheeses, curd and butter from the milk. You should definitely taste some of these fresh indulgences!
Paznaun: The Valley Boasting the Largest Number of Chapels in Tyrol
About 30 chapels distributed across the small communities of the Paznaun are just waiting to be discovered by you and your children. Easy routes will take you to these small cultural monuments that bear witness of the religious commitment of the locals. All chapels welcome visitors.
Family Excursion to Tyrol’s State Capital of Innsbruck
If ever the weather should prohibit you from taking a hike into the mountains towering above See or if you are ready to do something in town with your children, you can rest assured that an excursion to Innsbruck will be a great addition to your vacation adventures. From See, the 90-kilometre drive to Innsbruck can be completed within an hour by car. Park your car just outside of the city, buy an Innsbruck Card and discover the beautiful town on the Inn River. The Innsbruck Card gives you access to the use of all public transportation services and to numerous museums and sights, even to the Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens.
If you do make it to Innsbruck, the following is an absolute must-see: it is the landmark of the city, the so-called Goldene Dachl (The Golden Roof); the Court Church in which the Schwarze Mander (Black Men) guard the gravesite of Emperor Maximilian I. You will be impressed by the Hofburg (Imperial Court) with its pompous emperor’s suites and the Bergisel ski jump with its imposing modern architecture.
One convenient way to discover the sights of Innsbruck is to take the Sightseer, a bus that takes you to all of the highlights of the state capital. You can get on and off at any bus stop, which allows you to put together your own sightseeing programme.
