Capital of Tyrol — Austrian Alps city at 575m elevation, surrounded by 2,000m+ peaks. The Innsbruck Card covers ski lifts at Nordkette, Stubai Glacier, Patscherkofel, Axamer Lizum, and Schlick 2000 — five ski areas accessible by public transit from the city centre. Summer is hiking and via ferrata; winter is skiing. Population around 130k with a 30,000-student university keeping rents reasonable for an Austrian alpine city. Coworking has built out 2022–2024; Wi-Fi is reliable. Austria has no formal DNV but standard Schengen-area work permits or EU/EFTA citizenship cover most cases. Munich is 2 hours by train, Vienna 4 hours.
