For many flight simulation enthusiasts, the dubious distinction is that one of the most difficult approaches due to weather and terrain relates to the Tyrol capital of Innsbruck. For those who know, the starting airport of X-Plane 9 Flight Simulator and one of the most difficult missions in Microsoft Simulator X Flight Simulator X is Innsbruck Airport. On the other hand, transfers to many destinations are extremely easy as soon as you come to real life. The question is, however, where do you want to go from here?
City itself
The Tyrolean capital itself is, of course, the most logical place. Transfers to Innsbruck Airport are quite short, just 10 minutes, depending on your destination in the city itself. If your destination is one of the ski resorts in the area (as with most airport visitors), the transfer can take from 20 minutes to an hour.
What to do in the city? After you have sent transfers to Innsbruck Airport and packed your luggage into your apartments, you can see many sights in this great city. Visit the legendary medieval fortress Schloss Ambras, built on a hill above the city, and turned Archduke Ferdinand into the Renaissance castle for his wife. Stroll along the main street Maria-Theresien-Strasse - the entrance to the historic center of the city, where you can see fascinating buildings with original Gothic lines, the architecture of the Tyrolean Renaissance and baroque facades. Sit in a cafe to relax - then go to the Old Town and enjoy the charm of the old world.
Of course, for many fans of ski and winter Olympics, the Olympic Museum is an obligatory stop. In addition to its golden roof, there are many Olympic memorabilia present - souvenirs from two winter Olympic games organized by the city. Another famous stop is the almost magical world of Swarovski crystals, where you can also buy souvenirs.
Igls, Mutters, Tulfas, Seefeld and other ski resorts
If you, like most of those arriving at Innsbruck Airport, transferring to and from various ski resorts in and around the region will most likely be your problem. Many of them, such as the popular Igles, Mutters and Tulfes, which have slopes and pass for skiers of various levels from absolute beginners to the most experienced, as well as for snowboarding.
Seefeld, a charming alpine resort located 20 minutes from Innsbruck Airport, is popular with skiers and is one of the largest and most popular ski schools in Austria.
Some other popular resorts that are available for one hour or less using Innsbruck airport transfers are Fulpmes, Westendorf, St. Anton, Kirchberg, Gooding, Hopfgarten, Brixen Im Thale, Oberau, Stubai Glacier and Scheffau among others.
