Innsbruck, Austria, Igls Mountain

Igls Mountain is a historic winter sports resort that has hosted two Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976. The ski jump on the top of the mountain was redesigned by London architect Zaha Hadid, with complete facilities and unique style. Visitors can walk up the mountain for sightseeing, or take the sightseeing elevator to the ski jump, which is the place where the opening ceremonies of the two Olympics were held, and the stands can accommodate about 50,000 spectators. The end point of the jump is the altar where the Olympic flame is lit, and the bronze plaque next to it records the names of all the winners. There are cafes and restaurants on the top of the mountain for tourists to rest. From here, you can overlook the panoramic view of Innsbruck and look at the northern foot of the Alps. In addition, sports events such as the Four Obstacle Ski Jumping Tour and Matt Ski Jumping Competition are held here every year, attracting countless sports enthusiasts to watch. The North Chain Mountain in Innsbruck is part of the Alps. It complements the ancient Alpine city of Innsbruck, showing impressive magnificent features. The North Chain Mountain, located in the north of the city, has become a popular hiking destination, attracting countless outdoor sports enthusiasts and followers of Winston Churchill to explore.
