One pass, 12 ski resorts – from glacier powder to beginner slopes

The SKI plus CITY Pass Stubai Innsbruck covers a wide range of ski areas.

One pass, 12 resorts, and each offers something different, from beginner terrain and toboggan runs to freestyle snow parks and freeride zones.

At Axamer Lizum, experienced skiers will enjoy exploring the varied, open terrain and a challenging snow park.
The Nordkette ski area, a must for adrenaline junkies, can be reached directly from Innsbruck’s city centre via cable car in only 30 minutes.
The Stubai Glacier is Austria’s biggest glacier ski area, with 100 kilometres of guaranteed snow-covered pistes, ideal for early or late-season trips and a freeride powder department that keeps skiers coming back year after year.

The Pass also covers family-orientated destinations such as Kühtai, boasting Austria’s longest magic carpet ski lift and a kids’ paradise at Muttereralm with its play areas and toboggan runs.

And, if you have never skied before, Rangger Köpfl and Patscherkofel, with their quiet and wide slopes, are perfect for beginners.

More than a ski pass – The SKI plus CITY Pass unlocks adventure off the slopes too

What makes this Pass unique is that it’s not just a ski pass, but a flexible ticket to a host of destinations and attractions in Innsbruck.

It’s ideal for families, culture lovers, and anyone who enjoys mixing ski days with time off the slopes.

Whether carving up glacier runs in the morning or exploring the famous Swarovski Crystal Worlds in the afternoon, this destination provides the opportunity for two different getaways in one unforgettable trip.

The SKI plus CITY Pass gives history buffs free entry to the Hofburg Imperial Palace, its neighbour, the Hofkirche Court Church, where an impressive 28 larger-than-life bronze statues stand guard, and the Tirol Panorama Museum – home to a striking 1,000-square-metre panoramic painting that brings Tyrolean history to life on an epic scale.

Children will love the Alpine Zoo, where eagles, lynxes, and wolves prowl in enclosures designed to mimic their natural habitat.

Then there’s the illuminated LUMAGICA winter park in Innsbruck’s Imperial Gardens will dazzle their imaginations, with its glowing mythical creatures that outshine even the glistening snowflakes.
