Experience Tirol

In the heart of Innsbruck, just a short walk from Hotel Sailer, awaits an experience that is almost impossible to put into words – and that’s exactly what makes it so special. Experience Tirol is not a typical exhibition, but a multisensory journey through a land full of stories. Five rooms, five worlds – and at the center of it all, a moving narrative about home, identity, and the power of family.

The Beginning: A Tyrolean Living Room Full of Questions

In the first room, visitors step into a familiar scene: a cosy Tyrolean family home, warm and inviting – the kind of place where many stories begin. Here, we meet Anna and her father Thomas. Two people who are close, yet at times feel worlds apart – as it so often is between generations. One single conversation between them opens the door to an emotional journey: a journey about roots, responsibility, belonging, and the true meaning of home – something that goes far beyond four walls.

Stage 2: History You Can Touch and Marvel At

The next room feels like stepping into a time machine. Here, you come face to face with the Ötzi Iceman, pass by Emperor Maximilian, suddenly find yourself in front of Andreas Hofer, and witness the dramatic shifts of the World Wars from entirely new perspectives.

The history of Tyrol unfolds like a vivid panorama: faith, tradition, conflict, courage – all brought to life through state-of-the-art technology. A striking scene of the construction of the Brenner Autobahn finally marks the transition into the modern era, illustrating just how much this region at the heart of Europe has continued to evolve.

Stage 3: When Tradition Gets Under Your Skin

The atmosphere shifts to warm, festive, and familiar: this room pulses with the very heartbeat of Tyrolean life. Fasnacht, Easter fires, mountain fires, Christmas – scenes that stir memories, even if you're experiencing them for the first time. Surrounded by music, light, scents, and rituals, you feel it instantly: Tyrol is not just a place, it’s a rhythm. A cycle of small and grand celebrations carried by the people who shape this land.

This room is a tribute to the soul of Tyrol – loud, quiet, ceremonial, and deeply emotional.

Stage 4 & 5: Natural Wonders, a Glimpse into the Future, and Magical Moments

Without giving too much away: the journey continues to build. It lifts you high into the Tyrolean mountains, letting you glide over peaks, drift through valleys, and feel the power of nature up close. Cutting-edge VR technology makes things possible that would otherwise exist only in dreams. And in the end, the experience opens a window into Tyrol’s future – a vision filled with hope, innovation, and a strong sense of togetherness.

Getting There – How to Reach Experience Tirol Easily

Experience Tirol is located inside the Kaufhaus Tyrol, right in the heart of Innsbruck’s city centre.
