HOST CITY INNSBRUCK
Innsbruck, nestling in the heart of the Austrian Alps, has a certain magic. Renowned as a tourist
destination, the regional capital of Tyrol holds culture, tradition and sport in high esteem. This
diverse flair attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, who enjoy strolling its streets
taking in the quaint old-town atmosphere and breathtaking mountain scenery.
What makes the city unlike any other is its mixture of mountain and valley, nature and downtown.
From the busy city centre it is just a 15-minute ride on a cable car up into the mountains at 1,905
metres above sea level. Popular attractions in Innsbruck include the Golden Roof, the Hofburg imperi-
al palace and the City Tower, all of which can be found in the narrow streets of the medieval old town.

hosted the Winter Olympics on two occasions and attracted numerous other world-class events
in the decades since then. Surrounded by the Alps, the city offers a unique combination of urban
lifestyle and alpine landscape which has always proven hugely popular with both competitors
and spectators alike.

municipality of St. Sigmund) has plenty of options for all abilities, from beginners to experts.
Among the most popular mountains are the Zischgeles (3,004m) and the Lampsenspitze

can include a climb and a descent as well as sections where competitors must unclip and carry
their skis.
At the WWMG in Innsbruck, medals will be awarded in two disciplines. The Vertical Race is uphill
only, while the Individual Race contains both uphill and downhill sections as well as stretches
where competitors will have to carry their skis.
