Axamer Lizum
The largest ski area near Innsbruck, a venue for alpine skiing at the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics, with wide slopes suited to advanced skiers.
Axamer Lizum lies at the foot of the Kalkkogel, about 20 km southwest of the city, at altitudes between 1,580 and 2,340 meters. The women's downhill and technical events of both Winter Olympics were held here. The runs are mainly intermediate and advanced, and there is also a freestyle park. From the top station of the Olympia gondola, you can look down over Innsbruck. The ski season runs from about December to April. The Ski plus City pass grants access to 12 ski areas in the region. In winter, free ski buses run directly from the city.
