Westendorf Holidays

Holidays in Westendorf feature a picturesque village in the western Tyrol region, just 14km west of Kitzbuhel in the Brixental Valley. A popular summer destination, Westendorf lakes and mountain holidays boast a quaint Alpine charm and stunning backdrop, and thanks to the village's location on a sunny plateau, offer great summer weather conditions for a action-packed or relaxing time away, with highs of up to 24C in the peak season.

 

Set in a laid-back family-friendly village positioned amongst rural farming land, Westendorf holidays offer a scenic base for a summer week in the Alps. The south-facing valley offers wonderful conditions for hiking - the main attraction here - and the mountains boast an extensive network of trails and paths to follow. Hiking buses ferry walkers around, and the lifts, which open from May to September, enable access to the picturesque high-altitude peaks, where visitors on a Westendorf lakes and mountain holiday can relish the crisp fresh air and spectacular views. Families can enjoy the scenery, too, with some flat paths and easy trails at the top of the gondola, whilst serious hikers can challenge themselves with strenuous treks, stopping at the many rustic huts and inns along the way. Cyclists and mountain bikers have a range of terrain on Westendorf holidays, from gentle trails to intensive steeps and drops, and there are guided rides throughout the region. Other sports to enjoy on a Westendorf lakes and mountain holiday include horse-riding, paragliding and Nordic walking, as well as swimming, tennis, squash and mini-golf in the village, and golf in nearby Kitzbuhel. There's trout fishing, as well as rafting, canoeing and canyoning trips for adventure-seekers on a Westendorf Austrian lakes holiday, and the sparkling waters of the many local lakes make for a relaxing day out. Children will love the Alpolino nature trail, with its playground and educational tours located high up in the mountains.      

 

The village is rich in Tyrolean history and culture, with plenty of nightly shows, live music and folk evenings for guests on a Westendorf holiday in the Austrian lakes. There's a charming weekly farmer's market where local produce is highlighted and traditional customs observed, as well as festivals and parades to enjoy during the summer months on an Austrian lakes and mountain holiday. Westendorf holidays feature a number of restaurants, bars and cafes in the village, where visitors can sample authentic Alpine food and drink, with plenty of mountain huts and inns offering spectacular views. Day trips on Westendorf holidays include trips to a cheese-making farm or schnapps distillery, tours of Krimmi Waterfalls, boat trips on the Aschensee Lake and train rides to Innsbruck or Salzburg.
