We probably don't need to tell you that the Austrian Alps are a top destination for skiing at famed winter resorts such as St Anton and Lech, and for summer hiking amid the stunning mountain landscapes of Tirol that will make your readers' souls sing (and admittedly, their thighs ache).

But if you're looking for alternative stories, the Alps also offer as many sightseeing and cultural experiences as there are springtime flowers in our cow-chewed pastures. Take your pick of wonderful culinary delights, toe-tapping music events, contemporary arts festivals, and avant-garde architecture. Then explore enchanting alpine cities and villages for your next angle.

In short, let your readers swoosh down a ski slope and stride up a mountain – why wouldn't you? But also give them inspiration for a more complete experience while visiting our Alps, a region easily explored by train. Here are just some of the mountain of choices - and ideas for stories - that await in a beautiful corner of Europe where variety is the greatest pleasure of all.
