      Innsbruck - Winter Holidays the Austrian Way

      Skiing or sightseeing? In Innsbruck you don't have to decide - you can have both in one day!

    Skiing, sightseeing or relaxing in a comfy deck chair 2,000 metres 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 13 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 the sporty lifestyle.

    media_content.tooltip.skipped

    Imagine the lights of a Christmas tree rivalling the glistening tiles of the Golden Roof, the aroma of freshly made “Kiachln” (piping hot doughnuts laced with Sauerkaut), and the sound of traditional Christmas carols. This is Christmas time in Innsbruck.

    Innsbruck is hosting 7 Christmas Markets, which are dedicated to special topics and spread over the entire city. Experience the traditional, romantic and festive festive atmosphere of Innsbruck's historic old town. The Christmas Market at Maria-Theresien-Straße has a special eye-catcher: the illuminated mountain crystal towering above the market. Advent at the Market Square is perfect for families: The square enchants with a Tyrolean village feel and there's a varied children's programme, too. For the best views of wintery Innsbruck, visit the Panorama Christmas Market at Hungerburg. The market in the St. Nikolaus district shows the tranquil and reflective side of Advent.
