Anonymous Lizum – the locals’ hangout in Innsbruck
So after weeks of high alpine glacier skiing dating back to early October on the Stubai Glacier, the real action starts over here in Austria at Axamer Lizum. Never heard of it? It is the highest resort located around Innsbruck, has a loyal following of Innsbruck locals and some incredible off-piste. This time of the year it can be pretty cold up there but as my local hill, with a piste right back to my apartment – it has to be my favourite ski area in Europe. It is not for everyone and not the best for beginners but yes I rate it very highly. Back later with some pics and some stories of ski instructor misadventures over the summer.
Well the weather was pretty severe with gale force winds blowing, see our latest snow report:
