Patscherkofel

What makes it special is its distinctive aura, the combination of city and nature, sightseeing and opportunities to relax. Innsbruck is not only the starting point for many interesting walks, it also has a wealth of superb museums, historic monuments and attractive cultural events, complemented by free guided mountain walks. In short, an ideal place for a successful holiday. Our latest offer: buy the Innsbruck Card for 230 schillings and the whole city is yours, with free rides on the cable car and public transport and admission to all museums, from A for the Alpine Zoo to Z for the Zeughaus (the Armoury). And we must not forget Innsbruck's sporting character. There are many places to practise different sports: tennis, swimming, golf, rafting nearby, and you can even go tobogganing or skiing in summer. What we offer skiers: the Glacier Ski Pass (Gletscherskipaß), valid in 6 resorts at altitudes from 900 to 3,200 m, giving access to 53 cable cars and lifts with a total of 112 km of pistes (Olympic ones among them); a full snow guarantee thanks to modern snow cannons at the Olympic winter resort of Igls Patscherkofel and the nearby glacier areas; a free ski bus running daily between the ski areas covered by the Glacier Ski Pass (Gletscherskipaß); a free bus linking the finest cross-country skiing areas (Seefeld/Leutasch, Gschnitztal, Achensee); a varied programme of culture and sport in Innsbruck, where a stroll through the streets of the Old Town, a visit to a cosy café or a tour of the local museums is worth recommending, and not just in bad weather; bobsleigh rides on the Olympic bobsleigh track in Igls; and a wide range of accommodation, from a modern youth hostel to a ***** hotel.
