Ski Innsbruck Trips & Innsbruck Ski Vacations

NEW! Skiing Innsbruck is more than just a ski vacation, Innsbruck ski is a cultural experience. Travelers looking for fantastic skiing yet something more will find skiing in Innsbruck to be the perfect choice. Innsbruck is the Tyrolean capital and is known for its beautiful architecture, cultural events, and convenient access to miles and miles of exhilarating ski runs.

Having hosted the Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976, Innsbruck knows quite a bit about winter sports. Skiers and snowboarders have access to over 500 kilometers (310 miles) of trails in 25 surrounding village resorts connected by a free ski bus. There are six major ski areas that provide varied terrain for all levels of skiers.

There are several snowboard parks in the area including one at Axamer Lizum with half-pipes and natural jumps and one at the Stubai Glacier with a half-pipe, jumps, and a snowboard racecourse. Cross-country skiing is popular in this area with so much natural beauty to enjoy.

Winter hiking offers a fun way to see the area’s scenery and in the areas surrounding Innsbruck hikers will find at least 96 kilometers (60 miles) of trails. There are many ice skating rinks, some of which are natural and others that are man-made. Another popular non-ski activity in Innsbruck and the surrounding villages is a horse-drawn sleigh ride, a romantic way to see the magnificent scenery of the area.

Over 800 years old, Innsbruck displays its historic treasures for all to see. A walk through its streets takes visitors by the famous Golden Roof, the Ambras Castle, imperial palaces, theaters, opera houses, museums, and much more. Combined with the spectacular natural beauty surrounding it, Innsbruck is hard to beat.
