Innsbruck is the largest city in the Tyrol region in the Alps. It's population comprise mostly of students from the university. The city is situated in the foot of the Nordkette mountain range. It is also one of the centres of international winter sport competitions (eg, winter Olympics) and starting point of backpackers and trekkers into the Tyrolean Alps in Austria.

It is also a stopping point for many tours. The old town section where the Hapsburgs ruled for so long and where Maximilian's Goldenes Dachl "Golden Roof" are located is part of the walking tours.

A quaint street not far from the Goldenes Dachl can be found in the winter months full of fairy-tale characters (Hans Christian Anderson style) high up on the buildings and beautifully lit.
The Hofkirche (Imperial church) contains the empty sarcophagus of Maximillian I.

Also, the largest Swarovski Crystal Gallery is located in this area.

as a child, i am always fascinated with mountains: snow capped, barren and forested. before christmas, i have a vacation for a month and me and my friend decided to travel in the alps for a week in austria. it was like a dream come true for me, what would be better to see snow capped mountains than the alps and in early winter?! couldnt be better. so we decided to book a hostel - not bad - for 25+ euros a night incl. early breakfast.    we started at about 12:00 in the afternoon b...

Due to its location between high mountains, Innsbruck serves as an ideal place for skiing in winter, and mountaineering in summer. There are several ski resorts around Innsbruck with the Nordkette served by a cable car and additional chair lifts further up. Other ski resorts nearby include Axamer Lizum, Igls, Seefeld, Tulfes and Stubai Valley. The glaciated terrain in the latter makes skiing possible even in summer months.The Olympic Winter Games were held in Innsbruck twice, first in 1964, t...

The ride to Italy

May 15, 2005 - Jun 14, 2005
Our wake-up call was at 6am and we were down for breakfast shortly after.  Just cold cereal because nothing else looked very good. Of course, orange juice and coffee.  Can't get very far into the day without my coffee.  Off to Austria about 8am. Over the border about 8:30 and then over the pass.  That was an adventure.  Here in the western US where I live there is a law about making roads with no more than a 6% grade, up or down.  The road down there in Austria w...

    I wake up this morning with a heavy heart and in a bad mood. I don't want to go home!!! If I was a child, I would stomp my feet; but alas, I just need to buck up and enjoy the last of my day.  I am trying to talk Jen into accompanying me back to Munich, so that we can have one more night of fun before I head home and she is off to where ever. We need to still figure that out.     We roam around the city a bit more- get some last minute gifts for the fami...
