Unique ski location
•
Great city with lots to do
•
Easy to ski the Axamer Lizum
This classic alpine town, with its dramatic
backdrop of snowy mountains, has hosted the
Winter Olympics twice and offers a unique list
of attractions to skiers. There's a beautiful
old quarter, plenty of varied nightlife, excellent
shopping and a wonderful atmosphere. We have
selected a superb hotel which is really good
value.
You can ski as many as 7 local areas, but overall,
the Axamer Lizum is the best for school groups.
Unlike most Austrian ski areas, it lacks character
because there's no village, but you have all the
character you can handle in Innsbruck. The skiing
is high, the snow is reliable and the pistes are
both extensive and varied. There's also a large
bowl where the snow is always good and beginners
make good progress. There's a fantastic black
run which is fine for intermediates, plunging
7kms from the treeless bowl, then through forest
down to Axams.
Igls is also worth a day. It's more attractive,
and has more variety, but the snow is not so reliable
and it's a smaller area. There's a tremendous
intermediate run down the Patscherkofel, which
is a famous Olympic downhill, and was immortalised
by the great Franz Klammer.

HOTEL ALPIN PARK (cap 160)
•
Very high standards throughout
•
Excellent public facilities
•
Very good rates
The Alpinpark is not the obvious choice for a school ski
course, but winter is the off season so we have good rates
in this huge, prestigious, top class hotel. The public facilities
are superb, and the management are keen to welcome school
groups. The city centre and station are a 15min walk, there's
a bus stop nearby, and a large car park for your coach. The
dècor is elegant, modern and practical but has classic
Austrian touches like heavy timbers and wall panelling.
