Axams: Axamer Lizum - Golden Roofpark, Blick auf Innsbruck mit Nordkette
Axamer Lizum is best known within Tyrol for staging alpine skiing at the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics. Set above the municipality of Axams, this high-mountain resort occupies a broad basin in the Tyrolean Alps, with runs and lift lines extending across open slopes and through the tree belt. The Kalkkögel range forms part of the surrounding limestone mountain country, whose jagged profiles have earned it the nickname “North Tyrolean Dolomites”. Axamer Lizum remains a major winter-sports centre near Innsbruck, while mountain roads and paths also make the area relevant to walkers and cyclists. Its Olympic legacy gives the resort a distinctive place among the mountain areas above the Inn valley.

Innsbruck, the regional capital on the River Inn, lies beneath the Nordkette range and brings imperial-era architecture into close contact with high mountain terrain. Its Golden Roof remains one of the city’s best-known historic landmarks, while the surrounding valleys connect settlements, ski areas and hiking country across the region.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
