Ski area Patscherkofel
The ski area especially suitable for families: the "Sunny Kids Park" with its three different practice areas gives rooms for the little ones to take the first swings while parents have the opportunity to go down the more challenging slopes such as the Olympic run. The sunny area with view over Innsbruck, the Stubai and the Inn Valley leaves nothing to be desired.
All adrenaline junkies will love the "Snowpark Innsbruck" at the Patscher sun plateau and several sun terraces with loungers offer a good setting to recharge the batteries in between.
Night skiing Igls
Pistes in Igls do not always close as soon as it gets dark. As night skiing gets more and more popular, more and more mountain railways, just like in Igls, give the opportunity to ski in the evening. Like in many other ski areas in Austria, several sections on the pistes are illuminated. At Patscherkofel, night owls can look forward to an approx. 1 km section on the Heiligwasser pistes that is illuminated from 17:00 - 21:00 several times per week. The Olex restaurant is also open during these times. In case you never tried out night skiing before, make sure to visit this ski area: It is a great experience and will easily make you want more.Après ski Igls

Snowpark: Snowpark Innsbruck Igls
You would call yourself an adrenaline junkie or love to take risks? Then the "Snowpark Innsbruck" is made for you! Because unlike in most other Austrian areas, it's not an separated area next to the piste but the piste itself where you can shred here. At an altitude of 2,000 m and located directly at the Panorama chair lift, the freestyle paradise begins. It is shaped with every snowfall and change continuously so that you are guaranteed to have fun!
The park is set up as one long run made up of different obstacles rather than having different smaller areas.
Should you wish to pause and catch your breath or simply view the whole scene from the outside, the "XDouble Chill Hut" at the upper end of the park is perfect for you. When an event takes places, they even have a BBQ and play some up-to-date music. Don't miss out on that!
