Austria > Innsbruck

This capital city of Austria's Tyrol makes an excellent choice for those who want to combine skiing, culture, sightseeing, shopping, and a full taste of a European vacation at very reasonable rates. In short, Innsbruck has it all! We highly recommend it for the first time visitor. As for skiing, twice the site of the Winter Olympics, Innsbruck offers a wide variety of facilities for the skier in 5 different areas spread across the valley. The first is Hungerburg located on a shelf above the city. The skiing here centers around the Seegrube. Aside from the skiers, you'll see many sunbathers soaking up the rays and enjoying the marvelous view of the city. Next would be the Axamer Lizum, Innsbruck's highest area and location of the ladies downhill during the Olympics. The men's downhill was held in Igls which is located across the valley from Hungerburg. Mutters and Tulfes make up the other two Innsbruck ski areas, and both feature lower intermediate runs through the forests. Great for beginners. All of the areas are accessible by the Innsbruck Ski Bus system which is free to our hotel guests. Bus times to the slopes range from 10 to 30 minutes depending on the area you wish to ski. Additional skiing excursions are arranged by our guides to the ski resorts of Kitzbuhel, St. Anton, and Ischgl. Excursions for shopping and sightseeing are also arranged to Royal Castles, Salzburg, Munich, and Venice.

Evening entertainment includes visiting the many cozy night bars and discos, a gambling trip to the casino in nearby Seefeld, a toboggan party, a Tyrolean evening or a romantic horse drawn sleigh rider through the surrounding forests. All in all, Innsbruck has something for everyone.
