Picturesque Vals is not only just 26 kilometers (16.2 miles) away from Innsbruck, but also interestingly, shares a border with Italy. Mentioned in historical documents as early as 14th century, this land had been used as pastures by farmers and as a source of marble. It was also the battleground for the infamous Battle of Bergisel. Vals and its surrounding area have a lot to offer tourists. Hikers of all skill levels would enjoy the Padauner Kogel with its beautiful, panoramic view of the mountains and grand-looking cross. The Vennspitze mountain also presents hiking and skiing trails that are manageable for beginners, and its peak offers spectacular views. The Brennersee Lake, the biggest lake in the Wipptal that is surrounded by magnificent mountain views, is another attraction that visitors shouldn’t miss. These are just a few of the many exciting activities and splendid sights that await visitors in Vals. With so much to see and do in Vals, why not check out the top Airbnb vacation rentals in the area and stay close to the action by booking one?

3. Rustic cottage for adventurers and climbers (from USD 171)
This rustic and charming cottage is perfect for those who are after quality bonding with their family, as well as those who enjoy hiking and light climbing. Nestled in the middle of a forest on the Stafflacher Wand, guests do not need to travel far to go on a hiking adventure. There is enough room for up to 8 guests, so this would be suitable for families or groups of friends. The plethora of outdoor activities within walking distance of the cottage more than makes up for the lack of Wi-Fi and TV, and provides a perfect opportunity for family members and travel companions to connect on a more personal level. If you are up for a day trip, the train station is just a 5-minute walk away and Innsbruck can be reached by train in half an hour. The Stafflacher Klettersteig is just a few minutes away on foot, and so is the ice rink (during winter). The brook can be heard from the cottage and it offers a relaxing ambiance. The cottage itself is fully furnished with a dry toilet in a separate room, a hairdryer, pillows, blankets, and an indoor fireplace. Natural spring water can be sourced from a well 50 meters (164 feet) away.
