Axamer Lizum - Innsbruck skiing area

This skiing area is located 18 km from Innsbruck and used to be venue for the Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976.

The largest skiing area of the surroundings of Innsbruck is a rather famous one, as the Olympic Winter Games of 1964 and 1976 were stages on its slopes. On the occasion of the Winter Games of 1964, a funicular was constructed, the so-called Olympiabahn, taking sports enthusiasts on the Hoadl mountain (2,340 m asl). And why is the skiing area called like this? Axams is a village that is only 8 km away, and Lizum stands for an Alpine pasture located at the head of the valley.

From the skiing area, you can reach the villages of Axams, Götzens and Mutters. Moreover there is an illuminated toboggan run. The valley run to Götzens and Mutters are particularly snow-sure, as there is also the skiing area Muttereralm, providing artificial snow-making. By the way, the skiing area Axamer Lizum is internationally famous with snowboarders, as there are jumps, rails, a snow park and fun way, a race course, a permanent exercising course and a timing course.
