3 nights short ski break in Austria

Located in the heart of Austria’s skiing, just a short distance from Innsbruck and the Italian border, Igls is a wonderful traditional Tyrolean village. It remains compact and unspoilt, with sedate hotels, fine coffee houses and many picturesque woodland walks. It is also home to a spectacular Olympic bob-run, now open to the public, and to many horse-drawn sleighs. The local restaurants offer hearty Austrian fare including fondue, wild boar and sticky strudels. Regular Tyrolean music and dancing nights are popular.

The skiing itself is varied, with access to the extensive Innsbruck region. Beginners and the more timid have two nursery slopes a short distance from the village centre. Fearless experts can always try the resort’s greatest challenge - its Olympic downhill run. Most pistes are maintained by a degree of snow-making, which usually ensures skiing well into the Spring. After hitting the slopes, nightlife is a little more restrained, but a handful of convivial watering holes are lively.

2* Hotel Gruberhof - 3 nights - half board

This hotel is ideal for a short ski break being situated close to the Patscherkofel cable car with direct access to the Olympic downhill run and the nursery slopes. The Gruberhof represents excellent value for money and Peter Gruber and his family look forward to welcoming you.
