The path through the Axamer Valley has been used as a toboggan run in winter for many years. The total length of the toboggan run is 3900 metres, the average gradient around 14%. The ascent takes about 90 minutes on foot.
The run is lit daily from dusk until midnight and can therefore also be used for night tobogganing. You can hire toboggans from Hotel Bergheim in the Axamer Lizum from 9 am to 9 pm.
Guided tobogganing evenings for groups are also available on request.

The Patscherkofel, the “home mountain of the people of Innsbruck” is situated 1,400 metres above the city, where you will find the right conditions for skiing, snowboarding and all kinds of winter sports. The varied terrain offers family-friendly runs and challenges for ambitious athletes.
The ski area has nine lifts, including two valley stations – the traditional Patscherkofel aerial tramway in Igls and the 4-seater chairlift Olympiaexpress on the Römerstraße. The 18 km of perfectly groomed slopes entice you with the best conditions on sunny and varied terrain. Snow is guaranteed thanks to the ultra-modern snow-making facilities. Special highlights are the 6 km long downhill run from the mountain station of the Panorama lift to the Römerstraße, as well as the World Cup slope as a section of the Olympic downhill run. There are numerous places to stop for refreshments from the summit to the valley – from the rustic hut to the modern snack bar.
The Patscherkofel offers a breathtaking panorama over Innsbruck with views from the Wipptal valley over the Stubaital and Inntal valleys and to the Nordkette mountain range opposite.

The family sledding run with beautiful views of the Inn Valley and the imposing Nordkette. Also, the starting point Igls is ideally reached by the quarter-hourly bus connection from Innsbruck. It is especially charming to take the old Igls train from Innsbruck to Igls.
From the center of Igls, the approx. 1-hour walk to Heiligwasser begins (during the day, it is also possible to ascend with the Patscherkofel cable car to the middle station Heiligwasser) with the possibility of stopping at the Gasthof Heiligwasser (Monday – day off).
