Congress centres are places for the transfer of knowledge, research and further development. Spending time in nature has been shown to have positive effects on physical, mental and emotional well-being. This combination is the key to the success of Congresses in Tirol.
‘Alpine-urban’ is the perfect description for the Congress Innsbruck. Right in the heart of the city, yet just a short distance from the countryside. The conference terrace and several function rooms offer direct views of the Nordkette. It takes just 20 minutes to reach the top of the mountain on the Hungerburgbahn, and the Stadtpark is situated on the other side of the Congress centre.
The Europahaus Mayrhofen | Congress Zillertal is situated at the far end of the Zillertal valley. The modern meeting rooms, with their large windows, offer participants views of the surrounding mountains and encourage them to spend their breaks outdoors. For those seeking even more of the great outdoors during a Congress, the alpine Meeting room – waldfest.platz – is also available. As the name suggests, it is just a short walk away in the adjacent woodland.
The Gurgl Carat – shaped like a cut diamond – is Europe’s highest-altitude Congress centre, situated at an altitude of 1,930 metres. The glacier-capped mountains in the upper Ötztal valley can be admired from the Congress centre, but are best enjoyed right on the doorstep during walks across the meadows in the valley floor.
In the centre of St. Anton am Arlberg, amidst a village-like atmosphere, stands the Arlberg WellCom, which is partly nestled into the hillside and features nature on its roof. The building blends into the mountain behind it, and the surroundings can be enjoyed through large panoramic windows. Direct access to nature, Hiking Trails and more makes for varied breaks.
Just a few metres from the Hahnenkamm Uphill Facilities, the K3 KitzKongress is situated in Gamsstadt. Best known for the high-speed Streif downhill run, Kitzbühel also has a wealth of expertise in the conference sector to offer. The Congress centre has been designed to ensure that participants can enjoy views of the surrounding mountains of the Kitzbühel Alps at all times.
As the name suggests, the somewhat smaller Congress centre, congresspark.igls, is situated at 910 metres above sea level, adjacent to a spa park. The park, with its old spruce trees, green spaces and a pond, stretches out in front of the terrace. The modern architecture of the garden pavilion and its fully glazed façade bring nature inside to the event.
The architecture of the Alpbach Congress Centre blends in a unique way with the traditional architectural style of the Tyrolean mountain village and the Alpine landscape. To preserve as much green space as possible, part of the Congress centre was built into the hillside. The central glass spiral and large glass façades allow plenty of natural light to flood into the rooms. The roof is adorned with a flower meadow, which is used for outdoor sessions and, in summer, provides a home for the Alpbach cows.
