Innsbruck is well known for its sporting opportunities, especially alpine sports, as it is located in the Alps and surrounded by mountains, one of these being the Olympia ski-jump. The so called “Bergiselschanze” facility was constructed on the hill known as Bergisel - where two Winter Olympic Games took place - for jumps up to 104 m, from the top of which there is a splendid view on the whole city. Because of its design and prominent location it is considered a new city landmark.
We have also visited the Ambras-Castle, as well as the Old Town with its tyrolean style buildings , ending the day at the swimming pool on the top floor of our hotel.To visit our album, click on the picture below:

Next day we stepped by Wattens, the home of the Swarovski cut-crystal empire, where we explored the Crystal World, that has become one of Tirol's most popular attractions. This three-dimensional adventure museum includes the famous Swarovski crystals, mixed with light and sound offering a real multimedia show.
