With an international train station in the heart of the stunning alpine city, Innsbruck provides a unique opportunity for winter sports enthusiasts to travel by rail. Innsbruck Main Station (Hauptbahnhof) is a hub for major European rail routes, enabling visitors from London St Pancras to be in the Capital of the Alps in approximately 12 hours, depending on the route.
A new 10-seat cable car in the Austrian resort of Axamer Lizum is now transporting skiers and snowboarders to the top of the mountain in just six minutes. Also new for this season are the kickers and rails installed at the newly designed Golden Roof Park near the Karleitenlift for experienced boarders and freestylers.
As well as offering access to some great ski resorts in the Tirol, Innsbruck also offers a variety of apres ski opportunities in its hip bars and restaurants, with everything from steakhouses to vegan burger joints
