INNSBRUCK
Internationally known as the “Heart of the Alps,” two-time host of the Winter Olympic Games (in 1964 an 1972), and one of the greatest ski cities in the world, the capital city of the Austrian Tyrol is just that—a city. That it just happens to be surrounded by some of the best skiing in Austria makes it a premier destination for those who seek a broader European experience than simply skiing. Nestled into a narrow valley beneath rugged mountain peaks, it offers both beauty and culture with old world charm, rich museums and galleries with easy access to the country’s world-class ski resorts. Stay in the city and sample a wide variety of ski resorts to get an idea of where to spend more time next season.
Ski Resorts: Igls, Mutters, Patscherkofel, Axamer Lizum, Stubai Glacier, Hafelekar and world famous cross-country ski area Seefeld.
