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!

The next week is looking very promising for most of the Austrian Alps with lots of snow from the Swiss and French Alps making its way over. Temperature levels seem to be hanging around the -5 to 0 degrees for most of the weekend and slowly creep into the + degrees at the start of next week.
Freezing level drops to 500m over the weekend but then shoots up to 2000m and stays at that altitude from Monday onwards.
High Pressure dominates the weekend and then makes a welcome return on Wednesday and looks as though it is here to stay for a while after.
The most up-to-date avalanche forecasting for Austria is provided at a state level – check out the European Avalanche Warning Services to find the relevant organisation for your destination.
