Sitting in the scenic Tyrol region, the city of Innsbruck offers oodles of outdoor fun, and lively nightlife.

Surrounded by snow capped mountains, there are several ski areas in the area to choose from, including Axamer Lizum, Igls and the Stubai Glacier.

Nordpark is the closest to Innsbruck itself; thrill-seekers can go from city centre to ski slope in just 20 minutes by taking the funicular railway then cable car. But be warned – the ski area boasts one of the steepest runs in the Alps!
