Olympia Bobbahn
The fast and furious Olympia Bobbahn in Innsbruck-Igls was built especially for the 1976 Winter Olympics. Taking in 14 curves, a loop and a vertical drop of 124m, the bob run is 1.2km of pure hair-raising action. Thrill seekers can join a professional bobsled driver to give it a whirl; ice makes the run slippery smooth in winter, but it’s also possible to race down in summer if you don’t mind a bumpy ride. At €30 a pop, the minute of madness doesn’t come cheap, but the buzz of whooshing down at speeds of 100km/h (miss a bend and you’ll bounce like a pinball) is worth every cent.

Hungerburgbahn
The brand-new Hungerburgbahn is great news for powder freaks. Designed by Zaha Hadid of Bergisel fame, the sleek cable railway looks like something out of a sci-fi film and links the Congress Centre to Hafelekar (2300m) in just 25 minutes.

Inntour
For adrenaline-based thrills, check out the activities at Inntour. This is the place to come if you want to white-water raft down the Inn River, bungee jump from the 192m Europabrücke (Europe Bridge) or ski on the Stubai Glacier.
