Innsbruck Airport (IATA: INN, ICAO: LOWI) is an international airport located in Innsbruck, the capital of the Tyrol region in western Austria. Situated in a narrow Alpine valley at an elevation of approximately 1,907 feet (581 meters) above sea level, it is one of the most challenging airports in Europe for pilots due to the surrounding mountain terrain.
