White Winter Dream
A winter and ski holiday in Innsbruck is ideal for sports enthusiasts
As soon as the first flakes fall on the Nordkette, guests and locals head out into the snow and ice. Dreamlike alpine landscapes and modern facilities offer the best conditions for all known and popular winter sports. But even in the city, the Innsbruck sights lure winter enthusiasts outside. What would you like to experience first in your winter stay?
In a ski vacation in Innsbruck, the nine ski areas of the Olympia SkiWorld Innsbruck, with more than 260 sunny and well-groomed kilometres of slopes and many inviting ski huts, are at your feet. Additionally, further downhill runs in nearby ski areas of the region attract both large and small slope enthusiasts out into the crystal clear winter air. Of course, those who want to can also snowboard here, let their wild side out whilst freeriding in untouched deep snow, or show off their skills whilst freestyling in the snow parks.
For those who prefer a relaxed approach to their Innsbruck winter holiday, we particularly recommend cross-country skiing. A round on cross-country skis combines athletic training with a decelerated nature experience. Numerous kilometers of cross-country trails in our vicinity are presented in top condition and perfectly groomed. Alternatively, admire the mountain world while ski touring. This winter sport is a combination of winter hiking and downhill skiing, where you experience the best of both worlds.
Tobogganing promises winter fun for both young and old! Even the youngest ones love to slide down every small hill. Together, you then embark on real tobogganing tours. Those who prefer comfort and want to have a toboggan ride without a previous uphill hike, can comfortably get to the starting point via cable car at selected toboggan runs. This not only saves time in your Innsbruck winter holiday, but you can also slide down the route several times a day. And at the end, a reward awaits in the form of hearty meals at the huts.
When temperatures drop, it's peak season for all sports related to ice in Innsbruck! You're spoilt for choice with ice rinks: Would you prefer to skate in the middle of the city or in picturesque surroundings further out? Those who prefer conquering the ice vertically should try ice climbing. And the bravest venture into the so-called "visitor bob" in the Olympic champion ice channel of Igls, where it goes down rapidly through spiral & Co. at Mach 3.
