Stadionstraße 1, inside the Olympiaworld complex, holding around 15,200 seated or 17,000 with terracing. WSG Tirol — formerly WSG Swarovski Wattens — play their Austrian Bundesliga home matches here. Tickets are easy to get on the day for most fixtures.

The city's ICE Hockey League side, nicknamed Die Haie — the Sharks — playing at Stadionstraße 1 next to the football stadium. Autumn and winter fixtures, a loud small arena and the most reliable live sport in Innsbruck outside the ski season.

Olympiastraße 10, the complex left by the 1964 and 1976 Winter Games. Beyond the arenas it runs public and school ice-skating sessions, a skate hall for skateboarding and BMX, and the Olympia Eiskanal bob track, where guest runs down the Olympic course can be booked.
