Innsbruck
Skiing Meets Sightseeing

Experience a memorable, alpine-urban winter holiday in Innsbruck! The city offers a perfect mix of winter sports, cultural highlights and breathtaking nature.

Skiing, sightseeing or relaxing in a comfy deck chair 2,000 m above sea level: In Innsbruck, you don't have to choose, you can experience everything winter has to offer in one day! Tirol's capital is the perfect destination for holidaymakers wishing to combine skiing and snowboarding adventures with urban amenities such as shopping streets, museums, and day spas. The SKI plus CITY pass Stubai - Innsbruck, including 12 ski resorts (including Austria's highest ski resort Kühtai at 1,200 m) and 22 city adventures, is the perfect companion for your winter holiday.

Check out the Golden Roof and Innsbruck's streets full of imperial elegance in the morning, then head to a classic Austrian coffeehouse before making your way up to the slopes. A cable care will take you right from the city centre to 2,000 m in just 20 minutes. And if you want to take a whole day off from exercising, the locals won't judge you either. In Innsbruck, relaxation in style is just as important as being active.

Embrace the best of both worlds - that's what winter holidays in Innsbruck - or the "Lebensgefühl", as we call it - are like!
