If you haven’t yet flown into Innsbruck, you must. It is an aviation marvel, where you dive down between 2 mountains and land in the centre of a valley. I think perhaps one of the most unnerving things about the flight, is that as you come down, your view out of the cabin window is no longer sky but is instead is the side of a mountain on both sides, while you remain quite high in the sky and are quite some distance from landing.
Once on the ground, Innsbruck Airport is a small local airport. One of those airports that enables you to climb down from the plane and stroll across the tarmac to the airport.
You can fly into Innsbruck from Heathrow with direct flights on British Airways or arrive from Gatwick on Easyjet.
Location
Innsbruck is a great base for exploring the surrounding mountains as well as offering a pretty shopping area in the historic old town. In fact, my favourite thing to do from Innsbruck is to ski. Having hosted the Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976, Innsbruck knows quite a bit about winter sports. Skiers and snowboarders have access to over 500 kilometers (310 miles) of trails in 25 surrounding village resorts all on one reasonably priced ski pass, and connected by a free ski bus.
Most noteworthy, is that you can ski from Innsbruck right through from October to May, on the Stubai glacier which is around a 45 minute drive from Innsbruck town centre.
