Ski Holidays in Innsbruck, Austria
Innsbruck - Internationally known as the “Heart of the Alps”, two-time host of the Winter Olympic Games (in 1964 and 1976), and one of the greatest ski cities in the world, the capital city of the Austrian Tyrol. That it just happens to be surrounded by some of the best skiing in Austria makes it a premier destination for those who seek a broader European experience than simply skiing.

The ski regions of Olympia SkiWorld Innsbruck, where snow is guaranteed, offer access to 285 km of pistes and they are perfect for skiers, free riders, snowboarders and fans of powder snow.
