INNSBRUCK IN VOGUE

Imust confess—I was feeling a little light-headed. And with good reason.

Behind me stretched a panorama as breathtaking as any I've seen: jagged mountain peaks dusted with fresh snow, tapering into rugged brown granite, which in turn gave way to dense forests. A breeze, crisp and invigorating, seemed to have emerged straight from the refrigerator.

In a region overflowing with mountain resorts, Innsbruck stands tall—one of Austria’s most cherished gems. Its appeal lies in the harmony between nature’s majesty and the vibrancy of a modern city steeped in ancient tradition.

The Alps are quite literally at your doorstep, offering a snowy spectacle of grand proportions. Beyond the snow, the bracing mountain air and array of outdoor pursuits add to the charm. Choose your thrill: hiking, climbing, mountain biking, or paragliding. With six ski regions, over 50 lifts, 112 kilometers of pistes, high-altitude cross-country tracks, and dual ski passes, the infrastructure is world-class—explaining why Innsbruck has twice hosted the Winter Olympics.
