Innsbruck Winter Wonderland
Christmas Markets, a Tirolean capital and Winter Mountains.
OverviewWhen Christmas comes to town Innsbruck's intimate ’Altstadt’ becomes a magical world of candles and ’Glühwein’. Beneath the medieval arches the stands spread out selling golden baubles, carved wooden figures and seasonal treats. This ’Christkindlmarkt’ as they call it is most appealing after sunset whilst during the day the city and its surroundings offer us many delights. Crammed within the tiny area of the old town is the Hofburg Palace, once the principal alpine residence of the Habsburgs, the exquisite Hofburg Chapel and a fascinating museum of local customs and culture. We will dedicate one day to exploring the city’s treasures.
Innsbruck’s alpine setting is spectacular. Magnificent snow-covered peaks can be seen above the rooftops and church spires. The mighty Nordkette mountains dominate the city to the north, one of the Alps’ deepest valleys heads out east and west and the ancient trade route over the Brenner Pass to the south leads to Italy. On our other days we will take the train or post bus (included in the cost of the holiday) out to the Stubai valley to the south and the Seefeld plateau to the northwest where we can walk along prepared trails amidst stunning mountain scenery and return home by horse drawn carriage.
