Wörgl

Where the Brixentaler Ache joins the Inn and the valley becomes wide and sweeping, there lies the town of Wörgl, with 13,000 inhabitants one of the largest municipalities in Tyrol. Wörgl is considered one of the most important shopping centres in the Tyrolean lowlands. Intensive trade was already conducted here in the early Iron Age, as excavations prove. There was also a settlement in Roman times. In addition to modern houses, the townscape still features a number of old farms, especially around Kanzler-Biener-Straße. Situated in the Hohe Salve holiday region, Wörgl is the perfect starting point for a wealth of hiking and cycling tours. In addition to enjoyable routes in the valley, the relatively family-friendly climb up the local mountain Möslalmkogel or a tour to the Hohe Salve (1,829) with its magnificent view are recommended. For winter sports enthusiasts, it is only a stone’s throw to the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser – Brixental in winter. The Wörgl Wasserwelt, Tyrol’s largest adventure pool, with a huge sauna area, promises fun for the whole family.
