Excursions in East Tyrol

Osttirodler - The most spectacular Alpine Coaster in the Alps!

Numerous steep curves and jumps, waves and three loops make this the most spectacular Alpine Coaster in the Alps. A ride you can really enjoy to the full, since it lasts 4.5 to 6 or 7 minutes, depending on which speed you choose. This Alpine Coaster is one of the longest and most spectacular in the world, but is nevertheless comfortable and extremely safe.

The ride is also breathtaking because of the sensational panoramic views of Bruck Castle, Sonnenstadt and the bottom of the Lienz valley. Osttirodeln is the latest sports trend in Lienz, but careful: it can become addictive!
