Innsbruck's nine ski resorts cater for skiers of all abilities and you only need one lift pass. The choice of slopes range from family-friendly and gentle terrain to truly challenging descents as well as high altitude ski areas. And once skiing has finished, enjoy the conviviality Innsbruck offers.

With the 'Olympic Ski World Innsbruck' lift pass you can enjoy over 300 kilometres of snow-sure pistes and you can get to all of those nine areas by means of a complimentary, comfortable and eco-friendly ski bus service.

Located a few kilometres south of the city (if you miss the bus, take the tram), the Patscherkofel gives winter sports enthusiasts the opportunity to ski in the tracks of Olympic icons from the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympic Games (remember Franz Klammer?).

Axamer Lizum keeps scoring top points for its immaculately groomed runs and well-equipped snow park with perfect infrastructure for intermediate skiers and boarders.

Popular with families is the Muttereralm with the longest snow park in the region as well as a Kidspark, Slopestyle Area and other attractions. Another family-friendly area is on the Rangger Köpfl by Oberperfuss, while Glungezer is close to nature and offers magnificent views of the Inn Valley.

Schlick 2000 near Fulpmes has excellent natural snow but can also be completely covered using snowmaking facilities if required. The Stubai Glacier is Austria's largest glacier ski resort with the highest point over 3,200 metres.

Last, but not least Kühtai, Austria's highest ski resort, is only a mere 20-minute drive away from Innsbruck. It has state-of-the-art facilities, including the k-park Kühtai, a true playground for all freestylers with limitless off-piste options to be explored.

After a day on the slopes, come back to all the comforts of the city - check out the galleries, historic artefacts and museums, or sample some live music at one of many great venues. Try some local specialities, or just go for whichever international cuisine takes your fancy.

If the weather's not right for a day on the slopes, there's always the Olympic bobsleigh track at Patscherkofel to have a go on, miles and miles of cross-country skiing tracks and pleasant wooded walks, or ice skating to try.
