Big skies and a warm welcome: Visitors to Brixen im Thale will find none of the towering summits and craggy peaks commonly associated with Tirol. Instead, this quiet village is surrounded by the gently rolling hills of the Brixental Valley.
When they hear the name “Tirol”, most people don’t automatically think of rolling hills and wide open landscapes – but that is precisely what the Brixental Valley, a side valley of the Inntal Valley, has to offer. Its largest settlement is Brixen im Thale, a quaint village which benefits in many ways from the area’s unusual topography in a region more commonly associated with mountains and glaciers.
Visitors to Brixen im Thale will find none of the steep mountains and rocky summits which dominate many other areas of Tirol.
