Escape with an 8-night stay at a 3 bedroom, 3 ½ bathrooms with wireless internet home in Igls, Austria. Igls is a Village of 2,500 people four miles south of Innsbruck, site of the 1964 and 1976 Winter Games. Igls was the venue for the men’s downhill and the bobsled and toboggan events. Not only a winter playground, Igls draws even more visitors during the summer season. The Village is 3,000 feet above sea level. As the capital of the Austrian Province of Tirol, nearby Innsbruck is the center of culture in the area. Enjoy the stay with up to six people (please no children under age 10) in a non-smoking environment. Igls is a two hour drive from Munich airport and just 25 minutes from the Italian boarder. There are daily direct flights from Chicago to Munich. A car is a practical necessity and an all wheel drive is strongly recommended during the winter months. Arrangements for mutually agreed upon dates must be made with Lottie & Sid Ross. Airfare is not included.

Spend your day hiking in the hills, climbing mountains, eating at great nearby restaurants, visiting nearby towns and villages, driving to the Adriatic cost, or simply idling the day away in the garden with a book and bottle of vino. Accommodations are limited to four people and arrangements for mutually agreed upon dates must be made and completed by December 2015. Airfare not included.
