Igls was used in both the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics as host for the Downhill races, one of which was won by the legendary Franz Klammer. Nowadays however, the terrain is a little more mellow, but sections of the old racetrack provide a stern challenge.
Although you can stay in the small town of Igls at the foot of the Patscherkofel mountain, we’d definitely recommend staying in Innsbruck itself and “commuting” up to the slopes, whilst spending the evening in the bustling Tirolean city. This option not only gives a greater variety of accommodation, bars and restaurants, but also gives you the opportunity to explore the other city resorts, including Nordkette, Tulfes and Axamer Lizum, plus the numerous other resorts within an hour of the city. Away from the slopes, a run down the Olympic bobsleigh track at Igls is a must – but only if you’re brave enough!

Austria’s crescendo to the 2025/26 season looks set to continue through this week, as cooler temperatures (at least compared to the rest of the Alps) brings with it a few last flurries of snow.
Spring freeze-thaw cycles will be in force, but the freezing line will drop to 2,000m overnight and rising up to 3,000m in the midday sun. This will settle slightly on Friday when a pocket of unsettled weather moves in; the west will see a few flurries, barely enough to register on the snowstake, with up to 5cm falling the further east you travel. With the freezing line being where it is, this will limit snowfall to higher ground.
A few more flurries are due into the new week, albeit it remains too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where will fall.
