Where ski jumpers usually glide down the Bergisel ski jump, you can experience culinary delights at dizzying heights. Bergisel SKY is unparalleled in Innsbruck and way beyond. The restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling glass fronts in the Bergisel ski jump tower entice you to linger and enjoy the views. The ski jump stadium was designed by star architect Zaha Hadid, who passed away in 2006, and was awarded the Austrian Architecture Prize in 2002. Every year at the beginning of January, the Bergisel ski jump is part of the Four Hills Tournament. In summer, the stadium’s mat facility is often used for jump training, so there is a lot to discover.

The Stöttlalm in Mieming also possesses rustic beauty. Surrounded by nature, the alpine hut is located on the shores of an idyllic mountain lake. You soon forget about time whilst gazing at the picturesque view of the Mieminger Plateau and the entire Inn Valley. Be sure to make time to indulge in the culinary delights, though. The chef places great emphasis on the quality and regionality of the products, which is why almost all food is sourced from regional suppliers and partners.
