Get up at night. Climbing the summit in the dark. Waiting together for the moment when night gives way to day. A special moment. How can the answer here be anything other than "yes"?
For: Couples who enjoy being out and about in the mountains, preferably with headlamps
Highlight: The famous "alpenglow" (moment of the rising sun)
Where: Our favourite sunrise hikes in Tyrol
For example, a hike up the Serles, the classic on your own, but also a little more challenging, ascent from Maria-Waldrast in approx. 2.5 to 3 hours. If you prefer a more comfortable option, you can take the chairlift from the Axamer Lizum valley station to the Birgitz Köpflhaus, spend the night there and then climb to the summit of the Nockspitze in just under 50 minutes early in the morning. It's best to plan this during the week if you don't want too many spectators.
In the centre of the lake, it is completely still, with only a soft ripple audible as the oars glide through the water. Pause, ask the question. Toast with the champagne you hid in the boat beforehand.
For: Couples who enjoy spending time on and by the water
Highlight: The tranquillity in the middle of the lake
Where: For example at Lake Obernberg or at Lake Wildseeloder in Fieberbrunn at 1854 metres with crystal-clear water. If you don't want to exert yourself, you can hire a nostalgic wooden electric boat on Lake Walchsee, which then chugs along at a leisurely pace.
Step by step, slowly and carefully. It wobbles. Just don't look down! It gets better with every step. Heart pounding again in the middle of the bridge. But no longer because of fear, but because of the question that is about to be asked.
For: Couples who want to overcome their fear of heights (together)
Highlight: The view into the depths as soon as you are ready for it
Where: The highline in Reutte has an impressive length of 406 metres and is 114 metres high - if you master this together, you'll be ready for many other things.
If you want a more leisurely experience, choose the suspension bridge over the Inn near Mötz. There is a very romantic waterfall within walking distance, which is also ideal for a marriage proposal.
Wrapped up in thick blankets, snuggled close together. The leisurely trot of the horses pulling the sleigh through the winter landscape. What is possible in winter is also possible in summer. Without blankets, but in the warm sunshine. Both are very romantic and the question "Will you marry me?" is easy to answer here.
For: Couples who don't see romance as a literary trend
Highlight: The landscape that passes by at a trot
Where: Romantic carriage rides are offered all over Tyrol, for example in Seefeld. From there, you can be pulled by carriage to the Hämmermoosalm, where you can enjoy a delicious meal. Achensee is also a good tip: Achensee carriage and sleigh rides
Sauna in the modern wellness area. Relax in the soft waterbed. Relax. And then make a discovery during dessert after dinner. A ring in the pudding? Yes, that is possible. There are hotels that make a marriage proposal particularly unforgettable with nice details.
For: Couples who like to be pampered
Highlight: Ring in chocolate mousse
Where: There are several romantic hotels in Tyrol that offer such specials. For example, the Alpenlove in Seefeld, where you can book a carriage ride, a sung marriage proposal or the ring in the dessert - individually or all together.
A wild and romantic park, centuries old. Stone lions on small steps, a pond with ducks. How many couples have proposed under the ancient trees remains a secret. A castle park is a beautiful place for a marriage proposal at any time of year.
For: Princes and princesses or those who want to feel like one
Highlight: Enchanted fountains and ponds
Where: There is a beautiful old park at Matzen Castle near Reith im Alpbachtal. Integrated into the castle is an exclusive boutique hotel where you can spend the night like royalty. The restaurant at the foot of the castle with its medieval dining rooms is also not to be scoffed at.
