About location

Telfs is best known within Tyrol for the Telfer Schleicherlaufen, a five-yearly carnival tradition centred on masked Schleicher figures. The market town occupies the broad Inn Valley west of Innsbruck, below the Mieming Range and across the river from the Karwendel mountains. Its parish church of Saints Peter and Paul and the pedestrianised centre mark the older core, while the A12 Inntal Autobahn follows this important Alpine corridor. Telfs combines an established town centre with commercial and industrial activity shaped by its position between Innsbruck and the upper Inn Valley. The Schleicherlaufen is included on Austria’s national list of intangible cultural heritage.

Tyrol
Region Tyrol

Tyrol combines an energetic alpine identity with an established urban culture in a way that reflects its position within the central Eastern Alps. Innsbruck, the regional capital on the River Inn, lies beneath the Nordkette range and brings imperial-era architecture into close contact with high mountain terrain. Its Golden Roof remains one of the city’s best-known historic landmarks, while the surrounding valleys connect settlements, ski areas and hiking country across the region.

Country Austria

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
