Alpine climate for hikers and skiers
Lermoos has a typical alpine climate. The summer months in Tyrol are relatively cool with average daily maximum temperatures around 20 °C – perfect for a
hiking holiday in Außerfern around Lermoos. The mountain meadows are lush green, and even during strenuous daily stages, you won't break a sweat too quickly. For a winter holiday in the
Zugspitz-Arena around your holiday resort, the best time is from late December to late March. Temperatures fluctuate around freezing point. The average snow depth in Lermoos is just under half a meter. On the surrounding mountains, there is up to three and a half meters of snow.
Welcome to the gourmet region of Tyrol
Your holiday home, apartment, or cozy holiday apartment with a view of the Zugspitzarena is located in a real gourmet region. Tyrolean cuisine attracts gourmets and friends of traditional, simple alpine cuisine alike to the region. Both have one thing in common: the love for fresh, regional, and seasonal products. Try the handed-down recipes where the locals stop by. In the inns and mountain huts, authentic Tyrolean cuisine is at the top of the menus: dumplings with bacon, cheese dumplings, or Schlutz and Schlipfkrapfen. You can recognize the certified Tyrolean inns by the green sign with three leaves. In addition to traditional dishes and regional ingredients, the inns maintain a cozy atmosphere and genuine Tyrolean architecture. Despite its proximity to the wine-growing region of
South Tyrol-Trentino in Italy, the holiday region is not a wine country. However, the beers are all the better. The wine lists of the restaurants feature excellent drops from the Austrian wine-growing regions of Burgenland, Styria, and Lower Austria. For the warm months, the light and sparkling Grüner Veltliner is suitable. In winter, Zweigelt or Vernatsch (the latter from South Tyrol) warm the souls.

Away from the slopes and hiking trails, a visit to the 18th-century parish church of Lermoos is worthwhile. The interior of the church overwhelms with baroque splendor. The high altar shows the beheading of Saint Catherine. The bell from 1411, which still comes from the predecessor church, is the oldest bell in Tyrol. In the municipality's districts, there are also some listed buildings to see, such as the Dietrich'scher Ansitz or the Ansitz Felsenheim with a round tower from the 18th century, which housed a brewery. If possible, also plan a trip to the small but picturesque community of Biberwier.
