Ex-biathlete wants to build controversial four-star-plus hotel on Alpine lake – “Crime against nature”. The South and East Tyrolean Alps are a popular destination for tourists in summer and winter.
Locals aren't always happy about this. In 2026, Olympic Games will take place in Cortina d'Ampezzo, but there is already a new toboggan run in South Tyrol. The Obersee, also known as Untersee, is still in East Tyrol, but in Italy, it is known as Lake Anthz.
