Conditions for Tourism in Innsbruck

Innsbruck is the capital city of the federal state of Tyrol in western Austria. Located in a beautiful valley between high mountains, it is an internationally renowned winter sports centre. The tourists are also attracted by the old buildings and museums and the friendly atmosphere.


Due to its altitude and position in Central Europe, Innsbruck has a Continental Climate. Winters are cold – colder than those of most major European cities, and snowy. Winter nights can get frigid, occasionally dropping to −12 °C. Spring is brief; days start to get warm, often over 15 °C but nights remain cool or even freezing. Summer is highly variable and unpredictable. Days can be cool 17 °C and rainy, or sunny and extremely hot, sometimes hitting 34 °C. In summer, as expected from an alpine climate, the diurnal temperature variation is often very high as nights always remain cool (12 °C on average, but sometimes dipping as low as 6 °C).

Besides these hints, the guests of hotel Innsbruck should know something about the ski resorts here. Innsbruck serves as an ideal place for skiing in winter and mountaineering in summer. Among the several ski resorts around are Nordkette, Axamer Lizum, Patscherkofel, Seefeld, Tulfes and Stubai Valley. The glaciated terrain in the latter makes skiing possible even in summer months. In addition, all these resorts are less than an hour driving from the centre of Innsbruck.

The historic buildings, the museums and the friendly ambience made Innsbruck a much desired destination for those who seek to combine cultural tourism with snowboarding or ski jumping. The older pedestrian district of Innsbruck with the famous Golden Roof and the Alps in the background is a breath-taking site indeed.

Hotel Innsbruck is providing everything you need for a nice alpine vacation in the Tyrolean capital.
