Grassmayr has cast church and carillon bells in Innsbruck since 1599. Bronze is still poured by hand for commissions that range from Alpine chapels to concert-hall carillons, and the process can be watched at the foundry's own museum.
Best for Hand-cast bronze bells and carillon commissions
Held has shaped felt hats in Innsbruck since the late 1800s and describes itself as the only hat manufacturer in Tyrol, run by the fourth generation of the founding family. Some of its wooden hat blocks are more than 120 years old, and its archive of over 2,000 historic forms still supplies traditional-costume groups across the Alps.
Bonifaz Strobl carves nativity figures and Alpine woodwork by hand from his small shop on Seilergasse in Innsbruck's old town, and runs a knife-sharpening counter from the same premises. Each figure is worked individually rather than cast from a mold, in the same Krippen-carving tradition practiced across Tyrol.

Munding has run from the same Gumpphaus building on Kiebachgasse since 1803, making it Tyrol's oldest confectionery-café. Its kitchen still tempers Valrhona chocolate into pralines and bakes tortes from recipes handed down through the family that has owned it ever since.
Günter Rochelt began distilling fruit brandy from his garage in Fritzens, a short drive from Innsbruck, in the 1970s, using far more fruit per bottle than standard schnapps production allows. His family still runs the distillery today, hand-selecting Gravenstein apples, Williams pears and wild berries for spirits finished with wax-dipped stoppers.
Schipflinger works from a small goldsmith's studio on Schlossergasse in Innsbruck's old town, where rings, brooches and honor medals are each made as one-off pieces rather than pulled from stock. The workshop handles gold, platinum, silver and titanium alongside laser engraving, taking on commissions as personal as coat-of-arms rings for Tyrolean families.
Ski and snowboard workshop offering custom builds and hands-on building courses. Arrange workshop participation directly; this is not presented as a general walk-in sports shop.
Steinbock Mode has cut Loden coats and Tracht since Josef and Thusnelda Payr began processing wool textiles in Telfs in 1938, and the label is still run by their grandson from headquarters in Rum, just outside Innsbruck. Three generations on, the workshop still favors boiled-wool jackets and dirndls made for everyday wear over costume pieces.
Best for Loden coats and traditional Tyrolean Tracht
Tiroler Heimatwerk began in 1934 as a cooperative of 82 knitters and 38 craftspeople, and still trades from Meranerstrasse in Innsbruck as one of the few places where hand-knitted socks, dirndls and Tracht are made rather than imported. The shop commissions work directly from Tyrolean makers rather than a factory line, keeping regional textile skills in use.
Best for Hand-knitted Tracht and regional Tyrolean handicrafts
