| | Innsbruck, Austria - Ski Resort Profile | Ski-Europe.com - European winter vacation specialists. |
 | | Contrary to some expectations, Innsbruck is not an alpine ski village; it's a bustling city of over one hundred thousand inhabitants. |
 | | Here around every corner can still be found Innsbruck's heritage of two "golden ages," the first around 1500 under the Emperor Maxmilan I, the second in the mid-1700's under Empress Maria Thérèsia. |
 | | Overall, the city's location, nestled into a narrow valley right beneath rugged mountain peaks, together with its old-world atmosphere, historic churches and buildings, interesting monuments, rich museums and galleries, and active commerce, all combine into an interesting sports-plus-culture attraction. |
