Aber es ist nicht das Einzige, was man in der kalten Jahreszeit unternehmen kann \u2013 zumindest nicht in der Region Innsbruck. Denn in der Tiroler Landeshauptstadt und den D\u00f6rfern ringsum gibt es auch sonst mehr als genug zu erleben: von gem\u00fctlichen Rodelpartien \u00fcber romantische Wanderungen im Schnee bis hin zu spannenden Events. Eins ist daher sicher: Hier findet man immer einen guten Grund, drau\u00dfen zu sein. Skifahren und Snowboarden Was w\u00e4re ein Winter ohne Abenteuer auf der Piste? In der Region Innsbruck haben Skifahrer:innen und Snowboarder:innen freie Wahl, denn hier und im angrenzenden Stubaital stehen 13 Skigebiete bereit, die f\u00fcr jeden Geschmack das Richtige zu bieten haben. Freerider:innen k\u00f6nnen sich etwa in der Axamer Lizum mit ihren 300 Hektar an freiem Gel\u00e4nde austoben, w\u00e4hrend sich das Skigebiet Muttereralm vor allem an Familien mit Kindern richtet. Der Stubaier Gletscher eignet sich dank 35 Abfahrten bestens f\u00fcr Kilometersammler:innen und jene, die bis ins Fr\u00fchjahr hinein ihre Schw\u00fcnge ziehen wollen. Und wer abenteuerlustig ist, der sollte das \u201eFigln\u201c auf der Nordkette mal ausprobieren \u2013 rasant, aber \u00fcberaus spa\u00dfig. Mehr Infos zu den Skigebieten rund um Innsbruck gibt es online unter www.innsbruck.info\/skifahren\/ski-und-snowboard\/skigebiete.html. Rodeln Ein Rodelausflug ist immer ein Erlebnis \u2013 und ein Vergn\u00fcgen f\u00fcr die ganze Familie. In der Region Innsbruck werden begeisterte Rodler:innen beispielsweise in K\u00fchtai gl\u00fccklich. Im schneesicheren Wintersportort, mehr als 2.000 Meter \u00fcber dem Meer, findet sich die h\u00f6chstgelegene Rodelbahn des Bundeslandes. Eine ihrer Besonderheiten ist, dass Aufstieg und Abfahrt voneinander getrennt sind, sodass man auf dem rund 45-min\u00fctigen Weg nach oben das herrliche winterliche Panorama genie\u00dfen kann. Oben angekommen, l\u00e4dt das Graf-Ferdinand-Haus zur Einkehr ein, bevor es \u00fcber die knapp eineinhalb Kilometer lange Bahn nach unten geht. Viele Kurven sorgen f\u00fcr Abwechslung, die t\u00e4gliche Beleuchtung bis 22:30 Uhr daf\u00fcr, dass man auch zu sp\u00e4terer Stunde noch eine z\u00fcnftige Rodelpartie unternehmen kann. Langlaufen Es gibt wohl wenig Sch\u00f6neres, als bei strahlendem Sonnenschein eine m\u00e4rchenhafte Winterwelt auf Langlaufskiern zu erforschen, vorbei an tiefverschneiten W\u00e4ldern und romantischen Weilern, vor der einmaligen Kulisse der beeindruckenden Tiroler Bergwelt. Davon kann man sich in der Region Innsbruck unter anderem am Mieminger Plateau \u00fcberzeugen, einem idealen Gebiet f\u00fcr Langl\u00e4ufer:innen und solche, die es werden wollen. Obwohl insgesamt etwa 80 Kilometer an \u2013 kostenlosen \u2013 Loipen in der sonnenverw\u00f6hnten Gegend vorhanden sind, gilt es noch immer als eine Art Geheimtipp unter Wintersportler:innen, sodass man dort relativ ungest\u00f6rt auf Langlaufskiern seine Spuren ziehen kann. Winterwandern Wer die kalte Jahreszeit lieber etwas entspannter angeht, macht mit einer Winterwanderung garantiert nichts falsch \u2013 vor allem dann, wenn man die traumhafte Natur in der Region, etwa im Sellraintal, erkunden m\u00f6chte. Dazu braucht es im Grunde nicht viel, lediglich warme Kleidung und gutes Schuhwerk, vielleicht noch etwas Proviant, schon ist man bereit. Was neben dem Eintauchen in die Winterlandschaft f\u00fcr derlei Erkundungen im Schnee spricht: Bei entsprechender Witterung kann man dabei viel Sonne tanken \u2013 damit man genug Energie f\u00fcr das n\u00e4chste Abenteuer auf oder abseits der Piste hat. Veranstaltungen In und rund um Innsbruck wird es niemals langweilig \u2013 daf\u00fcr sorgen nicht zuletzt zahlreiche spannende Events. Vom 9. bis 18. Februar 2024 findet im Congress Innsbruck etwa erstmals das Innsbruck Winter Dance Festival statt. Die Limonada Dance Company, ein Ensemble unter der Leitung von Ausnahmet\u00e4nzer und Choreograph Enrique Gasa Valga, bringt in diesem Rahmen die Produktion \u201eLagrimas Negras\u201c zur Auff\u00fchrung. Besucher:innen erwartet dabei nicht nur Tanztheater in h\u00f6chster Vollendung, sondern auch mitrei\u00dfende kubanische Live-Musik \u2013 perfekt, um sich zwischendurch geistig in w\u00e4rmere Gefilde entf\u00fchren zu lassen. Auch sonst gibt es im Winter viel in der Region zu sehen: Am 16. und 17. Dezember 2023 ist die Elite der Naturbahnrodler:innen beim Weltcupauftakt in K\u00fchtai im Einsatz und k\u00e4mpft um die besten Zeiten. Zu Silvester verwandelt sich Innsbruck wiederum in eine gro\u00dfe Partyzone mit vielf\u00e4ltigem Programm f\u00fcr die ganze Familie, zu dem unter anderem das Kindersilvester (bereits am 30. Dezember 2023), der Silvesterlauf und ein atemberaubendes Feuerwerk auf der Seegrube geh\u00f6ren. Und vom 2. bis 3. J\u00e4nner 2024 wagen sich die weltbesten Skispringer bei der Vierschanzentournee in Innsbruck wieder auf die ber\u00fchmte Bergiselschanze. Das sollte man auf keinen Fall verpassen.

The multicultural metropolis, half of whose inhabitants come from other countries, is located on the shores of Lake Geneva and is the second largest city in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>A stay in Geneva is an unforgettable experience, which is always comfortable and easy thanks to bus and train connections via the &#8220;Gen\u00e8ve-Cornavin&#8221; railway station. And if you arrive by car, you can leave it in the &#8220;smallest metropolis in the world&#8221; with confidence, because visitors who stay here in a verified hotel, youth hostel or campsite receive the &#8220;Geneva Transport Card&#8221; free of charge. In addition to public transport in Geneva, this card also allows you to use the water taxis (Mouettes) on Lake Geneva, making it a unique opportunity to explore this diverse city for little money.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-59518 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"The fantastic view of Geneva and Lake Geneva from St. Pierre Cathedral.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"The fantastic view of Geneva and Lake Geneva from St. Pierre Cathedral.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/02\/RS27161_shutterstock_783216340-scr.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"59518\">\u00a9 Benoit Bruchez\/shutterstock.de<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">The fantastic view of Geneva and Lake Geneva from St. Pierre Cathedral.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<p>Geneva&#8217;s landmark, on the other hand, is not located in the city, but directly on Lake Geneva.

The Tyrolean capital has numerous sights such as the Golden Roof, the Hofburg Palace and the Bergisel ski jump. At the same time, there are 13 ski resorts nearby, including Axamer Lizum, Muttereralmpark and the Stubai Glacier, which can be reached by free ski bus. This makes it easy to combine skiing and sightseeing.<\/p>\n<h3>Which ski resorts are within easy reach of Salzburg?<\/h3>\n<p>Several first-class ski resorts can be reached quickly from Salzburg. The ski resorts of the Salzburger Sportwelt, such as Flachau and Filzmoos, are only 80 km away. The Gastein Valley (110 km) and the ski resorts of Gro\u00dfarltal (85 km) and Hochk\u00f6nig (70 km) are also within easy reach and offer ideal conditions for winter sports enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<h3>Are there any ski resorts that can be reached from Munich in a day?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, because Munich is ideally located for combining a city break with skiing.

The Austrian ski jewel Alpbachtal Wildsch\u00f6nau (120 km) and the Zillertal (150 km) are also easily accessible from Munich. After a day on the slopes, why not take a stroll through Munich?<\/p>\n<h3>What sights and ski resorts are there around Bolzano in South Tyrol?<\/h3>\n<p>Bolzano, the gateway to the Dolomites, offers a unique blend of Alpine and Mediterranean culture. Worth seeing are the old town, the Archaeological Museum with the famous glacier mummy \u00d6tzi and the Messner Mountain Museum. For skiers, the Rittner Horn is only 15 km away and well-known ski resorts such as Kronplatz and Alta Badia are also within easy reach.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it possible for winter sports enthusiasts in Grenoble to combine skiing with a visit to the city?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Grenoble is ideal for a city break combined with skiing. The city is located at the foot of the French Alps and ski resorts such as Chamrousse (32 km away) and Alpe d&#8217;Huez (65 km away) are within easy reach.
