Hotel Tirol – Summer 2014
This is where we live, laugh and recharge our batteries. Dear Guests, Mother Nature is our great role model – we take pleasure in her wonders and learn from her. We protect the mother of all life by contributing to sustainable regional development and the preservation of our cultural landscape. So that we can continue to safeguard biodiversity, we promote cooperation with our local farmers. It’s wonderful that our guests appreciate this philosophy and come to stay with us in Fiss, to enjoy a holiday at one with nature. The culinary programme at Hotel Tirol is just as varied as the natural environment on the sunny Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis plateau. Delicious breakfast dishes, a range of afternoon snacks and superb dinner menus accompanied by comedy, cabaret and music are the ingredients of Hotel Tirol’s Taste Sensation Event, which holds its debut this summer.
It’s all about celebrating and having fun! We look forward to welcoming you to Hotel Tirol. Yours, The Pregenzer family

5 July – 12 July 2014
The smell, feel and even the sound of hay awaken feelings of summer. The fine fragrance of dried meadow grass accompanies us as we gather hay to make crisp pillows. We fall under the spell of the area’s sublime mountain panorama and feast upon a picnic in the hay – and in the afternoon, as we enjoy a leisurely snack in the garden, we share tips on the uses of hay for wellbeing. Hay takes centre stage throughout the week. The programme includes heavenly hay massages as well as our mountain hay evening when the wild herbs from the surrounding meadows and forests call the culinary tune. Speaking of tunes, there will be plenty of good old-fashioned traditional music to entertain you during Mountain Hay Week. You are cordially invited to a hearty evening of music as we whisk you away to the Fiss Fountain Festival, where music and good regional food come together in perfect harmony.
Enjoy quality time with family and friends at this multifaceted summer festival. We kick-off with a gala dinner to get you in the mood for a week of culinary highlights, which include a garden party devoted to Aphrodite, goddess of love. Popular presenter and cabaret artist Lilly Staudigl reads from Isabel Allende’s ‘Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses’, and takes an entertaining look at love, attraction and eroticism to the accompaniment of atmospheric music and an aphrodisiac barbecue buffet.

‘Fisser Flitzer’. Fiss. A 2,200-metre adventure ride The ‘Flitzer’s’ starting point lies at an altitude of 1,812 metres. As it is next door to the Möseralm terminus, you can get straight onto the toboggan, grab the joystick and go. Several surprises await you en route.
Fisser Flieger. Fiss.
Serfauser Sauser.
Pull on your pilot’s vest, strap yourself in, thumbs up and go. The ‘Fisser Flieger’ is a flying machine for four passengers that ‘floats’ at between 8 and 47 metres above the ground.
There is something rather special about soaring 85m above the heads of people walking below. At speeds of up to 65km/h, the Serfauser Sauser is exceptional, exhilarating and great fun. There are trained guides to look after you and make sure you are safely secured into your harness before you glide from the Sunliner mountain terminal to the Komperdell valley terminal.
Skyswing. Fiss. Careful, you could get addicted: for one fabulous instant when centrifugal force and gravitation offset each other, the body is overcome by a feeling of weightlessness. This is immediately followed by a twelve-metre free-fall.
Fisser Gonde. 13 stops have been added to the Fisser Gonde Nature Trail, which now forms an attractive circular walk. While each new stop is quite distinct, some are educational, some are fun and others are interactive, they all revolve around the Fisser Gonde natural monument.
WODEWELT LADIS. Wodewelt Ladis is a fairytale trail based on ‘How the paradise seeds came to Ladis’, a tale by the famous storyteller Christian Stefaner. The Woden Theme Park was set up around the Neuegg pond in Ladis to bring the magic of this story back to life, and features adventures on a giant scale.
WOLFSEE IN FISS.
NEW! BIKEPARK Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis.
This new family-friendly circular path passes through the gently rolling landscape and provides a veritable feast for the eyes. Deciduous and larch forests alternate with colourful meadows and fields of flowers while the mountain peaks are reflected in the lake’s clear waters. Comfortable benches are set up all along the way for you to relax and unwind.
A new and exceptional bike hotspot is now open, with five different trails and within easy reach of the forest railway and many other attractions. The newly built mountain bike area is an activity highlight for the whole family as well as seasoned mountain bikers. The new free-ride trails offer cycling fans of all ages and abilities top-notch biking fun. Take the forest railway to the mountain terminal at 1,830 metres above sea level, where there are trails for four levels of proficiency. Back in the valley, you find yourself in a true cyclists’ playground – a perfectly scaled Slope Style Area, a pump track, a training course and a kids park round off the bike arena.
