Innsbruck (Austria) | Ski Resorts

The region of Innsbruck in western Austria offers nine ski areas under the name “Olympia SkiWorld Innsbruck” in a breathtaking natural setting. Due to their unique location in the heart of the Tyrolean Alps, the resorts not only offer magnificent scenery, but also have excellent infrastructure with 90 lifts and 300 km of slopes available. It is no coincidence that this ski area was one of the few to host the Olympic Games twice.

13 ski resorts promise plenty of variety during your winter holiday and offer everything from relaxing adventures in the snow to crazy freeriding fun. Skiing and snowboarding are available for people of all tastes and abilities at the resorts Freeride Lounge Nordkette, Vital Park Patscherkofel, Olympia Park Axamer Lizum, Playground Muttereralm and Kühtai ski resort.

The following resorts and lifts are also included on the pass: Glungezer, Schlick 2000 and Rangger Köpfl. Fabulous fun on the slopes also awaits you at the Stubai Glacier, the largest glacier ski resort in Austria. The Elferbahnen lifts, the Serlesbahnen lifts, the Bergeralm ski resort and the Hochoetz ski area right next to Kühtai are also included.

Plus there are also plenty of smaller slopes and children’s areas for sporty fun in the snow, for example Kinderland Rinn, the Kinderland Grünberg lift and the Sonnberg lift in Gries.

The English Alpine Championships will return to Bormio in 2023 for its 26th year, following a three-year contract extension with Bormio Ski.

The three-year deal will see the Championships hosted in the Italian resort until 2025, giving athletes a unique opportunity to compete on the same slopes as the next round of the Olympic Winter Games in 2026.

The extension of the contract continues a long-standing partnership with Bormio Ski of 13 years, during which the resort has been welcoming hundreds of the UK’s best skiers, along with their families.

With the announcement of the new deal, the dates for the 2023 English Alpine Championships have also been confirmed. The next Alpine Champs will take place between February 9-17, 2023.

The Championships will be bigger and better next season, with an extended programme already agreed.

Snowsport England will receive expertise, support and an investment from government and National Lottery funding from Sport England to co-deliver the ambitious of its ten-year Uniting the Movement strategy.

Sport England research shows that some groups are typically less active – like women, people with long-term health conditions, disabled people, people from ethnically diverse communities and lower socio-economic groups. Right now, the opportunities to get involved in sport and activity – and reap the rewards of being active – depend too much on your background, your gender, your bank balance and your postcode.

Over £550million is being invested in total, with the partners including Snowsport England receiving funding for up to five years. This new funding model from Sport England provides longer-term financial security as organisations recover and reinvent from the Covid-19 pandemic.

All partner organisations were selected by Sport England due to their ability to influence change and improvement at the heart of the system they are a part of, no matter how big or small. This is the first step on a journey to revolutionise Sport England’s approach to long-term partnerships as it seeks to partner and collaborate with innovative organisations to deliver Uniting the Movement and build a nation where everyone can get active.

GB Snowsport confirms support for Snowsport England Talent Development Project

A landmark new snowsport talent pathways project led by Snowsport England has launched this week with GB Snowsport’s support.

The new programme will focus on increased participation in Moguls and Ski Cross, while providing athletes with developments in skills applicable to multiple snowsport disciplines.

A team of coaches led by Paul Telling (Snowsport England Cross-Discipline Pathway Coach), Luke Feneley (Ski Cross) and Joss Englert (Moguls) will oversee the delivery of the programme, with support from GB Snowsport Head of Talent, Mark Ritchie, and coaches and support staff from across the Home Nations Snowsport system.

The programme will be based out of domestic training facilities and will provide opportunities for aspiring British athletes to hone the skills that will allow them to progress in Moguls or Ski Cross, or to develop capabilities that will support successful transition between snowsport disciplines.

Vail Resorts to acquire majority stake in and operate Andermatt-Sedrun Sport Ag, a leading Swiss Resort

Vail Resorts have announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase a majority stake in Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG from Andermatt Swiss Alps AG (“ASA”), marking the company’s first strategic investment in, and opportunity to operate, a ski resort in Europe.

Andermatt-Sedrun is a renowned destination ski resort in Central Switzerland, located less than 90 minutes from three of Switzerland’s major metropolitan areas (Zurich, Lucerne and Lugano) and approximately two hours from Milan, Italy.

Vail Resorts is acquiring a 55-percent ownership stake in Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG, which controls and operates all of the resort’s mountain and ski-related assets, including lifts, most of the restaurants and a ski school operation. ASA will retain a 40-percent ownership stake in Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG, with a group of existing shareholders comprising the remaining 5-percent ownership.

Andermatt-Sedrun is one of the most ambitious resort development opportunities in Europe. Since originally investing in the resort in 2007, ASA’s majority shareholder, Samih Sawiris, has invested over CHF 1.3 billion into the surrounding base area and over CHF 150 million into the ski resort, creating one of the leading luxury resorts in Switzerland. ASA’s extensive investments in high end lodging in the base area include The Chedi Andermatt, a world class 5-star luxury hotel, the Radisson Blu Reussen, luxury condos, studios and apartments, as well as the development of a concert hall, an 18-hole championship golf course, and three Michelin star restaurants.
