Above the clouds, freedom is boundless. A feeling that only the moment matters.
It is not uncommon for Tyrolean towns and villages to lie under a deep cloud cover or a dense layer of fog in winter. It's cold, gray and desolate. The good news: just a few meters above, the sun is shining under the blue sky.
Since there are cable cars to the mountains everywhere in Tyrol, it is easy to get through the clouds to the sun. A tip: Before you go, search Google for a webcam in the area and see live what the weather is like at the mountain station of the cable car.
The feeling of floating above the clouds makes everyday life seem far away. Up here, the world is quiet, almost magical. The sun bathes the mountain peaks in a warm, golden light. Every breath feels liberating, the vastness invites you to dream. The clear, fresh mountain air reinforces the feeling of freedom and lightness. An unforgettable experience.
This phenomenon is particularly well known at the Seegrube in Innsbruck. The Seegrube station of the Nordkettenbahnen cable car is often only a few meters above the cloud cover. An indescribable experience.
When the cloud or fog layer is higher, the glaciers are a last chance to catch some sun. Depending on where you stay, we recommend the Stubai Glacier, the Hintertux Glacier, the Ötztal Glacier (Rettenbach), the Pitztal Glacier or the Kaunertal Glacier.
