Winter Activities in the Innsbruck Area

Winter Bliss in Lans with an Olympic Flair

Winter in Tyrol is an exciting time of year with many diverse activities to try out. The refreshing mountain air is exhilarating and the beautiful winter landscape glistens in the glorious sunshine.

The holiday village Lans offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy many different winter sports in a beautiful setting. This popular winter holiday destination is situated at the foot of the Patscherkofel mountain, which is famous as the venue of the Olympic games in 1964 and 1976 as well as the Youth Olympic Games in 2012. It therefore comes as no surprise that this beautiful ski resort is regarded as the home mountain of local skiers in Innsbruck. The Olympia SkiWorld Innsbruck offers areas for families with children as well as challenging slopes for advanced skiers and is easily accessible with the free ski bus.

Cross-country skiers enjoy the well prepared tracks for skaters and classical skiers in Rinn, and enjoy the benefits of catching the free shuttle bus to various tracks in the region.

Explore the wonderful winter wonderland and peaceful nature on a ski touring trip up the mountains, to alpine huts, and untouched powder fields, or by embarking on a lovely winter walk or snowshoe hike. For a change of pace, try an exciting toboggan ride down the thrilling tobogan tracks through the glistening forests or on the guest-bobsled down the Olympic bobsled track in Igls. Another fun activity is dancing and skating on the ice of the Olympic ice skating rink of Innsbruck's Olympiaworld. The capital city of the Alps also offers unique events and cultural gems to explore throughout the year.
