About this audio guide
This guide to Bergisel in Innsbruck follows the Tyrolean rebellion of eighteen oh nine, when farmers and innkeepers under Andreas Hofer held this exact hill against a trained Bavarian and French army three times in one year. You will hear how a French general described the rebels' strange mastery of snow, boards strapped to their feet, and avalanches brought down on command. Best heard standing on the slope itself, looking down toward Innsbruck below.
