    Bergisel and the famous ski-jump are well known since the 2 olympic games that were held in Innsbruck in 1964 and 1976. You may even see the ski-jump from many places in the centre of Innsbruck, like here through the Triumph-Bogen in Maria Theresienstrasse. You may as well go there and have a look around and go to the great panorama-restaurant there - see my seperate restaurant-tip !
    The ski-jump may be visited daily !

    from june 18th - november 2nd: 08:30a.m. - 06:00p.m., last descent elevator 06:15

    On the south bank of the river Inn you can't miss the Ski Jump, the pride of Innsbruck - Bergisel. The tower is 47 meters tall and the access is made with an wire-tracted lift (funicular) getting up some 30 (or maybe more) people at once. The view of Innsbruck from Bergisel Jump Tower is pretty impresive. Though you can have higher points of view from both of the mountains surrounding Innsbruck, here is more easy to climb (car & lift). At Bergiesel you will also find a fancy (carefull, it's also pricy) restaurant, vith a perfect view over Innsbruck and its mountains.

    The visit to Bergisel Tower will cost an adult € 7,9 (for the funicular up to the tower, then the elevator up the restaurant and the jumping point is free). If you're there by car, there is a parking 5 minutes from the jump, charging € 3,2.

    This new jump tower opend only in September 2002. The tower and panorama terrace was designed by architect Zaha Hadid.
    We were very fortunate to have the possibility to watch a french team during their training.
    This run-up track looks very dangerous to me and I'm sure I would never jump over this ski-jump, but it's their sport.... I liked to watch them

    In our summer visit this last June 2003, we were really lucky because we thought that jumps only took place in winter, but we were wrong. In summer the jumps also can be possible...just they need some water on the slidy sky track. The feeling on live was great! We were astonished!

    The skyjumping is located on the Bergisel Mountain near Innsbruck. It was completed to end of 2001 and it borned from the winning project of OSH in the 1999 . It is 50 meters high and 90 meters long. You can see it from everywhere in the town. Two liftes carry you on the panoramic floor where you can have a great view.

    I nice place to start a visit in Innsbruck is: Bergisel (no doubt it!).
    This completely new jumping stadium is a historical, cultural and architectural highlight of an Innsbruck's holidays.

    With a funicular (really hot in summer) and the tower elevator you will reach the panorama-restaurant from where you will enjoy one of the best panorama over (50 m above) the city and its mountains above.

    As you can see, we didn't have the best of weather during our first visit to Bergisel Ski Jump. When it stopped raining, clouds came and surrounded the whole glass sturcture so we lost our view. In-between two such unfriendly clouds this picture came into life. This is what you see when you're in that restaurant on top and lean against the glass wall. Scarry, ha?
    For your orientation, jumpers start their jump almost from the same height!!! There's a door out to the start gates from the restaurant (don't worry, a glass wall will protect you from going down any other way but in a lift).

    You might not be a sports fan at all, but this you have to see!!!
    The new ski jump is more than just a sports facility - it's a masterpiece of modern architecture and symbol of smart investment. It is said that 13 mil euros had been invested & 3 mil euros already earned from the visitors (mind you, it was opened for the public only in Sept 2002!!!).

    When you enter the stadium, there will be a funicular to your left. It will take you up to the foot of the ski jump tower. From there you can take a lift to the Tower Cafe and observation terrace or walk to the outrun and check the view down the landing slope (see my next tip).

    Opening hours: daily 9:00-17:00
    Tickets:
    Adults - 6 Euros
    Children aged 6-14 - 3 Euros
    Children under 6 - free

    I would just love to watch a ski-jumping competition at innsbruck, but I have never been able to make it for the right week yet - maybe one day. Standing at the top of the run in summer, is however quite something. After spending about 8 euro or so on the funicular up, the view is well worth the entrance money to this place. It dates back to the 1920's, but was completely overhauled for the two olympic games that have been hosted here.

    Standing at the top of the 'big' hill makes you realise that these supoerhumans who throw themselves down the hill towards the town must the stark stareing mad. Wearing no more that two long matchsticks on their feet and a giant inflatable condom, they are airborne for longer than the Wright brothers.

    Apparantly the worst of it is the view (one that I will never experience) seen in mid-flight. It is said that the rela experts head for a particularly prominent grave in the boneyard that lies just beyond the landing area. Spooky.
