Innsbruck's Olympic Legacy: The 1964 & 1976 Winter Games

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, head towards Innsbruck from any location within Innsbruck-Land. Use the A12 motorway (Inntal Autobahn) and take the exit for Innsbruck. Follow the signs for the city center (Zentrum) and you will reach the area of the Olympische Winterspiele 1964&1976 in approximately 20 minutes from the outskirts of Innsbruck. There is usually parking available near the area, but be aware that parking fees may apply.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  To reach the location via public transport, you can take a bus operated by IVB (Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe). If you are in the central area of Innsbruck-Land, board a bus heading towards Innsbruck city center. Look for bus lines such as 1, 3, or 5 which frequently stop at the 'Hauptbahnhof' (main train station). From there, transfer to the bus line 3 or 5, which will take you directly to 'Olympiaworld' (the venue for the Olympic Games). The total travel time is around 30-40 minutes. A single ticket costs approximately €2.50.

• Public Transportation (Tram)

  Alternatively, you can use the tram system. From any tram stop in Innsbruck, board tram line 1 or 3, which travels towards the city center. Get off at the 'Messe' stop, which is close to the Olympic venues. This tram journey will take you about 20-30 minutes. A single ticket for the tram also costs around €2.50.

• Walking

  If you are already in the vicinity of the Olympic sites, you can easily explore by foot. The area is pedestrian-friendly, and walking from the city center will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Follow signs to 'Olympiaworld', where the main events were held during the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics.
