Telfs is a market town about 27 km west of Innsbruck, and suits groups wanting a roomy home with a garden. Most homes have a private pool and nearly all a sauna. It is a working town of around 16,000 people, not a ski village.
Telfs is the third largest municipality in Tyrol, with around 16,000 people at 634 m, and it has held market-town status since 1908. It is a lived-in town rather than a resort, with a Franciscan monastery and a house that is around 800 years old. Our homes are around the town and are mostly roomy, with two or three bedrooms, a garden, almost always a sauna and usually a private pool. Innsbruck is about 27 km east, so the city is an easy day out.
