Innsbruck Family Highlights

By Travel Expert: Alistair Wearmouth
  • Ride a cable car to the mountain peaks above Innsbruck for a dramatic panorama of the Austrian Alps and beyond to Germany and Italy.
  • Go wild on the slopes of nine ski resorts surrounding Innsbruck, bombing home on skis in winter or bikes in summer.
  • Stroll the atmospheric medieval streets of Innsbruck's Altstadt for the full architectural (and gastronomic!) flavors of Old Austria.
  • Get a ski-jumper-eye's view of Innsbruck from the top of the Bergisel Ski Jump tower.
  • Learn to rock climb in the Alps.

Innsbruck Overview

By Travel Expert: Alistair Wearmouth

Set at an altitude of 1,886 feet in a long pastoral valley in southwestern Austria, Innsbruck has to be seen to be believed. When you imagine classic Alpine scenery, you're probably picturing Innsbruck, a town brimming with fanciful medieval and Renaissance architecture that's framed by the beautiful 8,000-foot peaks of the snowcapped Tyrolean Alps. Of course, it's also true that Innsbruck is no hidden gem, so gets very busy at the expected times like high summer and Christmastime. Savvy travelers should, therefore, target the shoulder seasons for slimmer crowds and better prices.
