The Tyroleans are said to be as rugged as their mountain peaks. At first glance, that doesn't sound particularly inviting. But why's that? In a world that's becoming increasingly similar, aren't we looking for precisely those rough edges that make a region unique? For people who still speak their dialect with pride and don't bend when it comes to the nitty gritty? The Tyroleans are probably indeed stubborn mountain folk, but they're also honest and open. The hearty "Du" (German for you) with which you are greeted everywhere testifies to this. Tyrol stands for a way of life in which a lot happens outdoors. Every community, no matter how small, has its own local mountain where you can climb, hike or walk in all weathers.
