My boyfriend and I r visiting innsbruck from 19-23 December, we want to stay in a nice hotel in the city centre to make the most of the city and chistmas Market. However we would love to see some snow and do some snow activities that aren%26#39;t skiing. Are there easy opportunities to do other activities such as tobboganning, can anyone reccomend where we would need to go to achieve this goal? Also will it be snowing in the city self or just cold?! Many thanks

It is impossible to predict the weather that far in advance. Innsbruck itself is not a place getting huge amounts of snow. Moreover there is a phenomenon called %26quot;foehn%26quot; sometimes bringing relatively warm air from the South down to the valley making Innsbruck warmer than other parts of the country. As the mountains around Innsbruck are pretty high it should not be a big deal to get in touch with snow. You can go up to %26quot;Hafelekar%26quot; (Nordpark/Nordkettenbahn), %26quot;Patscherkofel%26quot; Mountain Southeast of the city or to the %26quot;Stubaital Valley%26quot;. For snow-related info please visit www.innsbruck.info

Tobagganing is some what subject to weather but after the 20th you should find good times very near to Innsbruck.

Great thrill is a bobsled run on the big course by Igls just outside of Innsbruck. Easy reached by public transport .
Ice skating available by the Olympic stadium
Nearby Seefeld - 25 minutes north and high above Innsbruck-
offers iceskating on nice rinks - mountain walks - cross country skiing.
You will most probably see snow on the mountains above Innsbruck - probably little if any in the city.
