Fantastic for all levels- really wonderful that even those who aren\'t great skiers can go to the top of the mountain and enjoy long runs.

we much appreciated the wonderful cafes & facilities - makes NZ look very primitive

We stayed at a hotel in Innusbruck - would recommend this approach for those who also want to go some \"non-ski\" activities. The alpine zoo is well worth a visit.

Highlight though was the night tabogganing paid for by the hotel as we stayed for longer than 3 nights. It was only once a week BUT it worth being there for

Innsbruck has so much skiing on it's doorstep it's rediculous! From the Glacier at Stubai ( 40mins) or Igls ( 10mins) but there is at least another 4 resorts close by in the vacinity , which make Innsbruck an ideal location to fly into.

Innsbruck is a brilliant location as it is central to many different resorts.. in the Four nights we were there we skiied and boarded at 3 different resorts - including St Anton only 1.5 Hrs via train. We were a bit dissapointed that the Bobsled run in Ingls was closed despite the fact it had been advertised as being open :-(

The resorts around Innsbruck offer something for each level of skiing, the Nordpark at Innsbruck is a very challenging resort...you have to be advanced, but then it is really cool...and not to forget the amazing view on Innsbruck. And each year you will find the worlds best snowboarders in Innsbruck - for the air&style contest.

Innsbruck is a city, so you can do a lot of other things besides skiing. Nightlife is great, Innsbruck is a student-city so there are quite a lot parties going on. It is not the cheapest city, but the wonderful panorama may compensate that.

Some excellent beginners ski resorts around Innsbruck and the Stubai Glacier offers superb intermediate skiing. Advanced skiing is more isolated but is superb at Innsbruck Nordpark and very good at Axamer Lizum.
