Innsbruck over Christmas to New Year's

My huband and I will be visiting Innsbruck for the first time between Christmas and New Years. We are staying at the Europa Tyrol Hotel. We would love some suggestions for things that are must do%26#39;s while visiting. Thank you.

Must do%26#39;s would be all the attractions offered by the Innsbruck Card: www.innsbruck-tourism.at/index.html…



In addition to free transportation, free entrance to all the museums, Palaces and churches; you can, for free, take the #1 Tram all way to the south end turn around and visit the Bergisel Stadium (Olympic Ski Jump area/opens at 09:00). It is a however a very steep hike up to the staduim area from the tram stop so do it while your legs are still fresh. Then take the #1 tram all the way to the north end turn around and take the Hungerburg Funicular Railway + Nordkette Cableway to Seegrube and have lunch overlooking Innsbruck. It is a fabulous view. Midway on the funicular you can get off and visit the Alpenzoo.



To get to Patscherkofel take Tram J from downtown and you can ride down the bobsled run used in the Olympics. Cost is about 30 €. Scroll to Tobbogganing under Winter at: http://www.innsbruck-tourism.at
