| Keen skier or culture vulture? A romantic
winter hiking tour or a shopping tour? In Innsbruck
you can do and get everything you could possibly
desire. Because the countryside starts right on the
town's doorsteps and sports events go hand in hand
with cultural highlights. Chosen as the site of the
1964 and 1976 Winter Olympic Games, Innsbruck
considers skiing part of its city's life. Innsbruck
is one of the few resorts in Europe with a snow
guarantee. Free buses shuttle you from downtown to
nearby ski areas. Among them Igls and Mutters will
appeal to the novice and intermediate skiers with
long, wide-open trails; Patscherkofel at 7,490 feet
and Hafelekar, which is reached by a series of lifts
at the edge of town, offers steep, challenging runs
for the more advanced skiers; Axamer Lizum, expanded
for the 1976 Olympics, has a wide variety of trails
for everyone, especially the Women's Downhill Course
which is a favorite of intermediate skiers; Stubai
Glacier, with 18 lifts, 35 miles of well groomed and
marked runs and a vertical drop of 4,790 feet
guarantees great skiing year round! |
