FREERIDE TIROL'S BEST SKI AND SNOWBOARD RESORTS WITH OUR LOCAL GUIDE
Join the Innsbruck Freeride Tour for a week of chasing storm cycles, riding varied terrain, and unlocking the kind of lines only locals know — all led by Tyrol-based pro snowboarder Roland Morley-Brown. Roland lives and rides in this region, knows every corner of these mountains, and brings the hype wherever he goes. From storm-day tree laps to high-alpine zones, he’ll put you in the right place at the right time — and keep the energy high all week long. Expect good snow, good terrain, and even better vibes.
Innsbruck is the snowboarding capital of Europe and where the city meets the alpine. You’re probably thinking why stay in the city? It’s all about the access, terrain and snow quality. Within a 30 – 50 minute drive, you’ve got dozens of places to ride – from smaller old-school ski hills to the modern mega resorts, all filled with endless riding options from alpine to the trees. Of course, no trip is complete without a day riding the famed Stubai Glacier. There’s arguably no zone in Europe that’s littered with as many good spots to ride, still with minimal tourists and insane snow quality.
While the Austrian Tyrol is home to some of the biggest resorts in the world, some of the best powder days are to be had in smaller, ‘locals’ resorts which get overlooked. These are our secret spots where you’ll still find powder, even days after a storm. Our local Innsbruck guide is on-hand to give you that local intel and put you in the right spot each day for the best snow. You’ll chase the snow and ride at different resorts each day.
On this trip you’ll stay in the heart of Innsbruck’s historic Old Town so you can immerse yourself in the culture as well as enjoy the vibrant hustle and bustle. The city is steeped in history and it’s a tourist attraction in its own right. Each night, join the crew to explore the narrow winding streets of old town packed with traditional restaurants, bars and beer halls.

SNOW & CONDITIONS
March in Tyrol is the sweet spot for chasing lines, exploring new zones, and making the most of everything this region has to offer. Resorts are quieter, the snow is still on point, and the mountains are wide open. While many assume the season starts to wind down, March often brings deep, cold storms followed by clear windows that open up access to higher alpine terrain. And even on days without new snowfall, the combination of elevation, aspect, and our local guide’s knowledge means you’ll still be finding fresh turns well after a storm has passed.
INNSBRUCK CITY-STAY
This tour gives you more than just great snow — it’s a full cultural hit. Based in the heart of Innsbruck, you’ll experience life in one of Europe’s most historic and lively mountain cities. By night, you’ve got endless food, beer, and entertainment options just steps from your hotel. By day, your guide will shuttle you out of the city to chase the best conditions across the region. With dozens of resorts within reach, every day offers something different — from high-alpine bowls to hidden tree zones. Where you ride depends on the snow, the weather, and the group’s appetite for adventure. Drive times typically range from 30 to 70 minutes — and every mission is worth it.
ABOUT INNSBRUCK
Innsbruck is the capital of the Tyrol region and sits at the crossroads of alpine access and rich history. With over 30 resorts within driving distance, it’s the perfect launch pad for a snow-focused adventure. Home to 128,000 residents, the city offers all the services and convenience you'd expect — plus a cultural backdrop that adds depth to every day. Step into the Old Town and you’ll find narrow, winding streets leading to the iconic Golden Roof — a Gothic-era, three-story balcony built in the 15th century. It’s a city that blends mountain life with centuries of history — and it’s all right outside your door.
Your Own Private Room Guaranteed
You’ll be based in a 4-star hotel right in the heart of Innsbruck’s Old Town — steps from historic landmarks, restaurants, and nightlife. Each guest enjoys the comfort and privacy of their own room with an ensuite bathroom. It’s your space to unwind, organize your gear, and reset after big days on the mountain — no shared rooms, no compromises. The hotel also features a generous breakfast spread each morning and an underground spa and sauna — the perfect place to soak, sweat, and recover before doing it all again the next day. Solo travelers especially love the balance of comfort, privacy, and unbeatable location.
Small Group, Big Advantage
We keep this tour capped at 6 riders — one of the smallest client-to-guide ratios in the industry. It’s the sweet spot: big enough for a solid crew vibe, but small enough to move efficiently and make the most of every day on snow. Smaller groups mean more flexibility, quicker calls on where to ride, and easier access to the terrain that makes each destination special. It also allows for a more personal connection with your guide — so you’re not just following someone down the hill, you’re riding with someone who knows your style and can elevate your experience.
Flexible Itinerary, Better Riding
This tour is built for flexibility. Based in Innsbruck, with over 30 resorts within reach, your local Mint Tours guide will assess weather, snowfall, and conditions each morning to decide where to ride. This means you’re always chasing the best snow — whether it’s a quiet locals’ hill after a storm or higher alpine terrain on a bluebird day. With no fixed plan and local knowledge leading the way, every day is about maximizing conditions and making the most of your time on snow.

DAY 1 – Arrival
Touch down in Innsbruck, Europe’s freeride hub. Your Mint guide will meet you at Innsbruck Airport (INN) or Hauptbahnhof (HBF) and take you on a quick 10-minute transfer to our 4-star Old-Town basecamp. After checking in and dialing your gear, take a stroll through the medieval quarter to stretch your legs and get your first look at the surrounding peaks. That evening, we dive straight into Austrian mode with a welcome dinner at a classic beer hall—expect hearty food, local lagers, and a trip briefing. If you’ve arrived solo (which most do), this is when the week’s crew really starts to come together.
DAYS 2 – 6 – Storm-Chasing
Each day will follow a similar format. This is what you can expect each day on tour.
The Innsbruck Freeride Tour is our longest-running Europe trip for a reason—it combines epic terrain, local knowledge, and endless fun. The terrain around Innsbruck is unreal, offering everything from deep powder fields to high-alpine bowls, trees, and hidden locals-only spots. Each day, we’re on the hunt for the best lines, adapting to conditions and chasing the freshest snow.
Mornings—Your local pro guide, Roland Morley-Brown, tracks the weather overnight and gives you the call each morning on where we’ll be riding, based on snowpack and conditions. Whether it’s dumping snow or clear skies, Roland’s extensive knowledge ensures we’re always on the best terrain. After a hearty breakfast and daily briefing, we’re out the door by 07:30. The drive is used to discuss the day ahead.
Once at the resort—Once we get to the resort, your guide will scope the conditions and make the call. If it’s storming, we’ll head straight for the trees — riding tight glades, natural gullies, and sheltered lines where the snow stacks deep and the visibility holds. These zones are perfect for fast laps and fresh tracks all day. When the skies clear, it’s time to push higher. We’ll head into the alpine to access wide-open bowls, long faces, and natural features — making the most of the elevation and big terrain. Whether it’s steep and technical or smooth and flowy, your guide will pick the best lines based on weather, snowpack, and group energy. No fixed plans — just chasing the best conditions each day. Lunch is on-mountain, and it’s the perfect chance to take a breather while enjoying some classic Tyrolean fare—think hearty soups, schnitzel, and strudel. After refueling, we’re straight back into the action, aiming to make the most of a full day on the mountain, chasing the best snow and enjoying all the terrain has to offer.
Afternoons—Once the lifts close, we dive into the legendary Austrian après scene, where cold drinks and good vibes are the perfect way to unwind after a solid day of riding.
Evenings—We are typically back at the hotel around 5-6 pm, with some time to freshen up, and then it’s time to head out for dinner at one of our hand-picked spots, serving everything from traditional Austrian dishes to wood-fired pizza. If you’re still feeling it after dinner, Innsbruck’s nightlife is just a two-minute walk away—bars and late-night spots ready for those who want to keep the fun going.
DAY 7 – Departure
After your final breakfast, it’s time to pack up your gear and catch transfers back to INN or HBF. You’ll leave with fresh tracks in your legs, new contacts in your phone, and a standing invite to join us again when the next storm hits. (Need more turns? Ask about tagging onto our next tour.)
This tour is perfect for advanced snowboarders and skiers who want to chase fresh snow and explore beyond the obvious. You should be comfortable with variable snow, navigating steeper terrain, and spending the day riding off-piste. We’re not here for groomed runs — this tour is all about finding the best lines, adapting to changing conditions, and making the most of every ride. All riding and guiding takes place within the resort boundaries, but keep in mind we’re talking Europe here — the terrain is huge, and the inbounds options are even bigger. If you’re comfortable riding in mixed groups, moving efficiently, and are up for a true mountain experience, this tour is made for you.
If you’re unsure whether this is the right level for you, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Mint team. We’re happy to help you find a tour that’s a better fit or guide you on how to develop the skills needed to join this one in the future.
When you’re ready to book, you’ll be asked to assess your riding or skiing ability. The more accurately you evaluate your skills, the better the group dynamic will be — making sure everyone rides at the right pace and gets the most out of the experience.
What Is The Terrain Like?
This tour is all about lift-accessed freeriding, with a strong focus on off-piste terrain. While you’ll be riding within resort boundaries, we steer clear of groomers whenever possible. Austrian resorts offer a massive variety of terrain — from wide-open bowls and steep pitches to natural features and the occasional treed section. Expect long descents, plenty of vertical, and runs that can stretch 10–15 minutes depending on the line and your pace. It’s all about finding the best snow and making the most of what the mountain gives us.
Who is the guide?
Your lead for this tour is pro snowboarder Roland Morley-Brown. Based in Tyrol during the winter, Roland knows this region inside out — from the big-name resorts to the quiet locals-only zones. He’s a seasoned rider with a background in filming, backcountry riding, and guiding, and brings a dialed mix of local knowledge, safety awareness, and all-time stoke. Riding with Roland feels less like following a guide and more like dropping in with someone who knows how to get the most out of every day.
Are Lift Tickets Included?
Yes, all lift tickets are included.
Which resorts will we visit?
We keep the tour itinerary flexible so you can ride at the best resort on the day.

The driving time to each destination varies and can range from 30 minutes to 1 hour from the hotel in Innsbruck.
