There are as many as 280 kilometers of trails and nearly a hundred lifts at the Olympia SkiWorld<\/strong>, the ski resort in the Austrian Tyrol which includes eight smaller districts among which that of Innsbruck. But Innsbruck<\/strong> is also a marvellous cultural and artistic town.<\/p>\n

The capital city of this region is one of the most important tourist destinations of the country. Here you can ski almost all year round – in summer over the Stubai<\/strong> and Schlick<\/strong> Glaciers – and you can practice all disciplines, from cross-country skiing to snowboarding, from freestyle to off-piste, from dog sledding to ice skating, from downhill skiing at high altitude to sledding and bobsleigh.<\/p>\n

The snow is guaranteed also at intermediate altitudes thanks to artificial snow. The mountains around Innsbruck<\/strong> in the summer are transformed into spaces where to enjoy wonderful hiking, trekking, mountain bike rides or for sunbathing along the Inn River.<\/p>\n

But this Austrian city is not only a ski resort, as it is even a place of culture and social life. There are many attractions and places of architectural interest which worth a visit. Like the famous Goldenes Dachl<\/strong>, the Golden Roof, a balcony of a residential palace of Maximilian made of gilt copper and decorated with frescoes. Ambras Castle<\/strong>, now a museum of history of art, with works by Titian, Velazquez and Van Dyck, or the Hofburg Imperial Palace<\/strong> and the nearby Hofgarten park.<\/p>\n

All the old town is a must, with buildings from the late Middle Ages: in the Altstadt<\/strong>, the ancient city, an area closed to traffic, the evening is filled with young people and tourists who crowd restaurants and clubs on Herzog Friedrich Strasse<\/strong>. Another very busy area in the evening for the presence of bars, restaurants and nightclubs is called Viaduct<\/strong> (B\u00f6gen) with some popular places such as the Plateau, the Babalon or the Down Under.<\/p>\n

Innsbruck has also a casino<\/strong>, close to the Hilton Hotel. For families with children not to be missed is the Alpenzoo<\/strong>, a zoo with alpine animal species, but also fish, reptiles and birds. It is open all year and houses over 2,000 animals of 150 species.<\/p>\n
