Innsbruck Today Today

The journey is the destination

Fabulous ski tours

Tours in the Innsbruck region cover everything from enchanting snow-covered valleys and sun-kissed plateaus to high-alpine terrain. You can also choose from tours on the ski slopes or in the backcountry, and decide whether you’d like to take a lift to help reduce the climb or tour using pure muscle power alone. Your journey to and from the desired route can be as environmentally-friendly as the sport itself thanks to public transport.
