Ready for holiday adventures in Tyrol’s oldest city?
One city, multiple facets
There really is no other city quite like Brixen: It’s the oldest city in Tyrol, is over a millennium old, has been the home of the prince-bishops for hundreds of years, is a hotspot for art and culture – and is nestled amidst a multifaceted landscape of lush green meadows and pastures and awe-inspiring mountains like the Dolomites. That means you have the freedom and choice to plan your free time exactly as you wish.
From the city up the mountain in no time at all
Brixen’s local mountain, Mt Plose, is an inviting destination for nature fans and active holidaymakers in both summer and winter. An extensive network of well-marked hiking paths, bike trails, the Brixen Bikepark for adrenaline junkies, almost 44 kilometres of ski slopes, and a 360° view await you here. The valley station of the Plose lift is located just 10 kilometres away from our city hotel in Brixen.
