Alpine Flower Garden

Tyrol


Arnica, edelweiss and purple bellflowers are among the 400 alpine blooms flourishing at this quiet garden atop Kitzbüheler Horn. It’s a four-hour (14km) hike one way, or a speedy cable-car ride. A highly scenic road also twists up to the mountain (toll per car/motorcycle €10/5, plus €3 per person).
