Nestled on the southern side of Innsbruck lies the small, charming village of Igls. Just 5 km from the city centre, Igls boasts a transfer time of 30 minutes. Many of the pistes in Igls itself are suitable for intermediate skiers, whilst beginners can enjoy finding their feet on the nursery slopes on the lower slopes in the village area. Advanced skiers have the possibility of exploring 8 other ski areas, totalling 295km of piste including the nearby Stubai glacier, all reachable by free ski buses. Igls is also great for non-skiers as the sights and shops of Innsbruck are within easy reach by taking a scenic tram journey down to this cultural city with trendy shops, restaurants and museums to explore. Closer to Igls you can take a stroll along the many cleared footpaths around the village, ride the cablecar to the panoramic restaurant to meet skiing friends for a meal with a breathtaking view, or, for the adrenaline seekers, take a 100 km per hour ride down the Olympic bob sleigh run in Igls. The village also offers tobogganing, twice weekly floodlit skiing, swimming, curling and ice skating.

The slopes
Beginners
There are several nursery slopes in the resort of Igls, and with the wide uncrowded slopes of the "family run" easy to reach, Igls is a great place to gain your confidence.
Intermediates
Igls is a great place to improve your skills on the snow. The 7km run from the Patscherkofel peak all the way back to the village offers breathtaking views over Innsbruck. Venture over to the Stubai glacier to get more kilometres under your belt, and enjoy some excellent snow conditions all season long thanks to the north facing slopes and glacier runs in the area.
Advanced
The Olympic men's downhill run above Igls will challenge even the best skiers and there are lots of additional possibilities for more experienced skiers to be explored in the wider Olympia Skiworld area. There are also locally organised ski-touring days and off-piste excursions.
Snowboarding
Freestylers will find kickers and a boardercross at Stubai glacier, there are another 6 boardparks in the area, including an excellent area in Nordpark. For those learning the ropes, there are a couple of wide runs accessible by chair or cable car in the Igls area.
