Innsbruck

Winter like summer, Tirol is the hub of the international sports scene. Two Olympic winter games and a host of spectacular sports events brought Tirol into the international limelight. World ice hockey championships, exciting world cup ski races in Kitzbühel and Sölden, and the traditional ski jump event on Bergisel in Innsbruck draw thousands of spectators to view the events live or on TV. In the summer the world’s cycling elite struggles through Tirol’s mountains which form part of such classic cycle races as the Giro d’ Italia, Tour de Suisse or the Deutschland Tour.

Tiroleans love to be active: hiking in high Alpine regions, mountain biking, canyoning and rock climbing are regarded national sports here. And in the winter people hit the outdoors for some Alpine or Nordic skiing action.

The best about Tirol is that it offers an abundance of establishments where you can soothe your achy muscles and refresh your tired legs. Alpine Wellness is the slogan under which Tirol’s charming hosts combine unique landscapes, invigorating country air and top wellness offers.

Innsbruck, Tirol’s capital is only a short car ride from a great variety of sports and wellness facilities. The city itself charms with superb views of the surrounding mountains, romantic restaurants in the medieval old town, and a vibrant nightlife perfect for those post-match parties.
