City of the Winter Olympics Innsbruck is a city in western Austria, and the capital of the federal state of Tyrol. Due to its location in between high mountains, Innsbruck serves as an ideal place for skiing in winter, and mountaineering in summer.
The Olympic Winter Games were held in Innsbruck twice, first in 1964, then in 1976 when the city replaced Denver, Colorado as the venue after Colorado voters rejected a bond referendum to finance the games. It also hosted the 1984 and 1988 Winter Paralympics.

I recognize this street. Isn't it lovely to walk around a busy street, look up and see a towering mountain range? I love Innsbruck. |
