Our Cultural Partners –
a comprehensive insight into
the culture and traditions of the
Tyrolean Oberland region.
The mountain farmers of Tyrol have preserved their
customs until today. In the Glacier Park you will come
across interesting cultural exhibitions, a mining village,
an old restored mill or perhaps a local Tyrolean,
who can tell you all about life in the mountains now
and in the past.

In a multimedia exhibition,
visitors are given an insight
into the natural features
found in the Nature Park.

Altitude zones
The Submontane zone
Meadows and arable land
dominate the appearance
of the submontane zone
today. Just a few remains
of deciduous forests
still exist, such as the
protected linden forests
of the Arzler Pitzeklamm
gorge or the oak forests on
the warm southern slopes
of the Inn Valley.
The Montane zone is
characterised by a diverse
cultural landscape.
Flower-filled and steep
mountain meadows are
closely intertwined with
productive coniferous
forests. Near the farm
you will often still find
meadows with tall old
fruit trees.
˚C
˚C
˚C
˚C

6°
The Subalpine zone is
dominated by jagged
coniferous forests and
“knee timber” such as
the green alder or
mountain pine. The stone
pine, the most resistant
of the softwoods,
characterises the rough
tree line. At the Piller
Saddle numerous high
and lowland moors also
run through the slowgrowing mountain forest.
˚C
˚C
The Alpine zone is the
treeless realm of the
Alpine pioneer grass.
Here, where cows and
sheeps graze in the
summer, you will usually
find several metres of
snow in winter. Over time,
Alpine roses etc. have
developed interesting
survival strategies.
The Subnival zone
is largely free of any
vegetation and home
to some “extremists”
including the glacier
buttercup. Their altitudinal
distribution ultimately
ceases at 3,100 m. This is
where the “eternal ice”
begins.
