Location

Innsbruck is the capital city of the federal state of Tyrol in western Austria.
It is located in the Inn Valley at the junction with the Wipptal (Sill River), which provides access to the Brenner Pass, some 30 kilometers (19 mi) south of Innsbruck.

Located in the broad valley between high mountains, the Nordkette (Hafelekar, 2,334 meters (7,657 ft)) in the north, Patscherkofel (2,246 meters (7,369 ft)) and Serles
(2,718 meters (8,917 ft)) in the south, it is an internationally renowned winter sports centre, and hosted the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics.

How to reach lnnsbruck

Innsbruck can be reached via Innsbruck Airport.

Innsbruck Kranebitten Airport is the largest airport in Tyrol in Western Austria.
It handles regional flights around the Alps, as well as seasonal flights to other destinations. During the winter, activity increases significantly, due to the high number of skiers traveling to the region.

A flight to the Airports of Munich, Vienna or Salzburg and bus transfer from there is also possible. For further information, please contact local organizers.
