Visiting the Christmas Market at the Golden Roof before you go skiing, or going shopping in the centre before you start racing down the ski runs - a dream that comes true in Innsbruck. The Nordkette skiing area on the Seegrube and Hafelekar mountains is not only popular with those who love skiing, but also an area that is famous beyond borders with snowboarders.

Amazing - from the centre of Innsbruck you reach the Nordkette skiing area within 20 minutes only! The only Incity-Snow Park worldwide is the Nordkette Skylinepark on Mt. Seegrube. Many snowboarders and freeskiers exercise here at 1,905 m a.s.l. for various contests. An unforgettable view on Innsbruck, the Alpine City, is included! Moreover at Mt. Seegrube, there is the Kids Arena with a magic carpet, childcare, snow hills and exercising slopes. The Hafelekar cable car transports you farther up, to the Hafelekar, a panoramic mountain. There is the Hafelekarrinne channel, one of the steepest ski routes of Europe (70% gradient).

The Nordkette is also a place where people dance and party: high above the roofs of Innsbruck, "Cloud9" is the largest snow igloo event arena and the highest located club of the Alps. The Snow Card Tyrol (more than 90 skiing areas in Tyrol), the Freizeitticket Tyrol (32 skiing areas and other leisure time facilities in Tyrol) and the SKI plus CITY Pass (13 skiing areas around Innsbruck and the Stubaital valley, formerly known as Olympia SkiWorld Innsbruck) are valid in this skiing area.
