Compete in the Winter Olympics!
Travelers will get to compete in their very own Winter Olympics! Tour guides will lead you on a snowshoe hike up the mountain and off the beaten path. Sparkling snow and incredible views make this adventure an unforgettable experience! After a well-earned lunch on the mountain top, travelers can bundle up and zip down the mountain on a sled!
See the Goldenes Dachl
Innsbruck is truly a beautiful city, and one day of exploration won’t do it justice. Before you dance the night away on New Year’s Eve, explore Innsbruck with a local historian. One of the most captivating landmarks of the city is the Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof). Completed in 1500, the roof was decorated with nearly 3,000 fire-gilded copper tiles to mark Emperor Maximillian’s wedding to Bianca Maria Sforza. Today, the roof shines in the midday sun as a beacon of Innsbruck’s unique heritage.
