Innsbruck Weather, When to Go and Climate Information

(Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria)



The moderate climate of Innsbruck features very distinctive seasons, which change quickly and noticeably. Winter weather in Innsbruck is cold, with freezing nights and heavy periods of snow. However, when the city hosted the Winter Olympics in 1964, there was actually a rather unfortunate lack of snow and the Austrian army ended up transporting ice and snow from the very top of mountains.

As soon as spring arrives, the climate quickly changes, the days become longer and the sunshine is more plentiful. The summer weather in Innsbruck is hot by day and mild by might, although it soon begins to feel a little more chilly by the time that the fall colours adorn the trees.
