A gastronomic tour of the Mieming Plateau can combine all of this: whether on foot or by bike, visiting the numerous farm shops is a pure delight.
Innsbruck Card
Save while experiencing it all to the full
Valid for 24, 48 or 72 hours, the Innsbruck Card offers the freedom to discover the highlights of Innsbruck – all at an unbeatable price. The purchasable card includes admission to 22 museums and sights and offers free travel on public transport throughout the city, including three hours’ use of a Citybike, the Sightseer Hop on-Hop off Bus and the Swarovski Crystal Worlds Shuttle. And, because no visit to Innsbruck is complete without (at least) one mountain adventure, one ascent and one descent on are included on selected lifts and cable cars.
Walks to explore
Seven city walks
Set out on new paths on your own: the "Walks to explore", seven themed city walks, lead through and across the city. Discover the city’s impressive diversity for yourself: there are sights both well-known and hidden, corners both familiar and secret, between the Bergisel ski jump and the Sill Gorge, in the historic district of Anpruggen, or in Innsbruck’s cool, youthful areas.
Cool Innsbruck
A cooling dip
For those seeking to escape the high temperatures and hot summer sun, the Innsbruck region offers numerous bathing lakes and outdoor pools where you can cool off. The Natterer See and the bathing lake in Untermieming offer a range of water activities for all the family, while the glittering green of the Lanser See attracts those looking for a refreshing spot on its shores. Fun and games galore are the order of the day in the outdoor pool areas of the leisure centres at Mutters and Axams, while in Innsbruck itself the Rossau bathing lake and the Tivoli open-air pool make ideal places for (sun)bathing.
Guided summer activity programme

High mountains, sturdy city
All the variety of a walking holiday
Gentle paths and panoramic hikes, traditional huts and Alpine meadows, scenic summit tours and via ferratas in the high mountain rock – all of this can quickly be reached from Innsbruck, with numerous starting points also accessible by public transport. The Karwendel Nature Park, the Mieminger Kette chain, the Kalkkögel peaks or the mountaineering villages of the Sellrain Valley – discover unspoilt nature on enjoyable walks or more challenging tours. Whether on your own two feet or with the assistance of a lift or cable car, the vastness of the mountains will set any pulse racing.
Only in Innsbruck
Special experiences
A holiday in the Innsbruck region is always something special. But for that little bit extra, the region has a few more activities and experiences up its sleeve. Perhaps a bobsleigh ride? In Igls, where the world’s bob and skeleton elite normally take on the curves, you can whizz down the famous Olympic ice channel on a bobsleigh specially designed for visitors. The gourmet gondola on the Patscherkofel is more comfortable and leisurely experience: enjoy a hearty breakfast as you glide up towards the summit – panoramic views included!
