What to do in Innsbruck – by Olympic Skier Kilian Albrecht

Kilian Albrecht is an Alpine Ski Racer and has competed for Austria at the Olympics in Salt Lake City. SNOW caught up with him to get some tips on travel and find out what to do in Innsbruck.  He has lived in Innsbruck, Austria for over 20 years and knows a thing or two about the best way to enjoy Innsbruck. Many people know the city of Innsbruck from hosting two winter Olympic Games, but many people don’t associate Innsbruck with the amazing skiing that surrounds it. It is the perfect ski and culture vacation. It offers everything you would want from a typical ski vacation, plus you can stay in fabulous hotels, dine at amazing restaurants and party into the night. It is a great way to experience what makes Austria so special and in winter it is truly a winter wonderland. Kilian has since retired from ski racing but remains a key player representing a number of elite athletes including Mikeala Shiffrin, Olympic Gold Medalist from the USA. Kilian met her years ago at a ski summer camp in Austria and her talent caught his attention, even at a young age.
