Day by day

Day 1: Arrival in Innsbruck. Where is the best place to start in Innsbruck? At the Golden Roof, whose gilded shingles sparkle above the oriel window in the old town. Look up from below, since the lane is pedestrian-friendly anyway. Children like to count the reliefs and figures. After that an ice cream on the square is enough, before you head to your accommodation and put your feet up.

Day 2: Alpenzoo Innsbruck - Tirol. The Alpine Zoo hangs on the slope above the city and shows animals of the Alps, from wolves to golden eagles. The paths climb gently, and a pushchair needs a bit of strength. Plan on half a day and treat the children to a rest in the shade at the top. The Hintertux Glacier remains a destination for another day.

Day 3: Stubai Glacier. Two worlds in one day: in the morning Ambras Castle with its armoury and Renaissance courtyard, where children gaze at knights' helmets. That leaves little time for the Stubai Glacier, so it is better to make it the main programme of a day. Snow lies up there, even when it is summer down below. Bring warm clothing and sun cream.

Day 4: Bergisel Ski Jump. The Bergisel ski jump by Zaha Hadid rises above the city like a question mark. Your children can go up to the viewing platform and see how steeply the jumpers approach. Afterwards the Hofgarten does you good: lawn, pond, butterfly house and a café are close together. Children can romp about here while you finish your coffee.

Day 5: Innsbruck Nordkette Railways. With the Nordkette railway you rise from the city into alpine terrain in a few minutes. The stations are by Zaha Hadid and look like ice formations. Up at the Hafelekar the air is thin and cool, so put hats on. Smaller children walk only short distances, and the view and the summit cross are reward enough.

Day 6: Patscherkofel Railway. In the morning you stroll through the old town, past arcades, the Imperial Palace and street cafés. At midday the Patscherkofel cable car rolls up the Innsbruckers' local mountain. Up there simple paths lead across meadows, and the view looks back to rooftops and river. The ride is short enough for toddlers.

Day 7: Farewell to Innsbruck. Last day, last gondola: the Muttereralm is a short drive from Innsbruck. Up top are alpine pastures, a playground and gentle walking trails. Children run, parents enjoy the far view across the Inn Valley. If you travel in the evening, pack beforehand and use the alpine air as a gentle finale.
