The villages of Igls, Tulfes, Mutters and Aximer Lizum are connected to the city by a free and frequent ski bus. The ski pass which covers the bus ride also entitles the holder to slide on the more than 100km. of groomed slopes and trails in the above villages. There are, as well, more than 150 prepared cross country trails for those who like to do a bit of gliding and kicking. So Innsbruck then is the perfect base to do some of the best skiing in the Tirol. Naturally you also have the option of staying directly in any one of the village listed here. If, for example, you choose to stay in Igls, just minutes above the city by car, you would find the perfect mountain setting. The town has a small commercial area of it's own, ample hotels, restaurants and the like, and it's own very definite personality. Full story
