Panorama-Runde

440 M 440 M
7.6 KM 7.6 KM
A classic route with a fantastic 5-valley view that is also very suitable for trail running beginners. The route leads around Patscherkofel mountain on the renowned "Zirbenweg“ and “Jochleitensteig". From the start at the Patscherkofel middle station, head west on a wide forest path (gravel) past the Patscher Alm and continue uphill to the Hochmahdalm. 2 hairpin bends after the Hochmahdalm, leave the forest path and turn right onto the Jochleitensteig. The narrow trail first leads over forest soil and then over rock and gravel just along the tree line. On the south side of the Patscherkofel, the trail leads to the Boscheben Alpine Inn. From there you follow the well-known Zirbenweg on gravel and rock back to the mountain station of the Patscherkofel cable car. If you don't want to run uphill at the beginning of the loop, take the Patscherkofel cable car to the mountain station and from there run along the flat forest path following the "Panorama-Shortcut" signs to the start of the Jochleitensteig.

A very challenging route to a destination that is popular among Innsbruck locals.

From there, a long steep section leads up to the Kollandbrunnen fountain, where you meet the Stangensteig trail. This trail runs parallel to the Rauschbrunnen circuit for a short distance before coming to a long steep section that zigzags up to the Rauschbrunnen mountain hut. From there, the route leads downhill to the east, first along the Knappensteig trail and then on a forest road, past the Höttinger Bild chapel and back to the starting point.

Rosnerweg run

71 M 71 M
2.7 KM 2.7 KM
An ideal, flat training route with one short, steep walking section.  This route starts at the end of the "Forstmeile" fitness trail and initially leads south before turning almost immediately onto a soft, flat forest trail leading west. The route stays almost parallel to the slope the entire way, crossing the Arzler-Alm-Weg trail, until it reaches the Rosnerweg trail. The route then continues over the flat avalanche barrier to a short but very steep section. At the end of this section, the route leads west and is either flat or moderately downhill all the way back to the starting point.

City forest walk

145 M 145 M
4.7 KM 4.7 KM
A medium-length circular walk that passes well-known highlights in the Hungerburg area while also following some of the less common paths. From the starting point in the Hungerburg district, first head west along the low-traffic paved road to Gramartboden. From there, the route starts along a steep forest road but soon joins a wonderful, flat and very beautiful forest path. Follow this path east through Innsbruck's city forest and then along the "Maria im Walde" trail, past the small shrine of the same name and all the way to the Kreuzbrunnen fountain. From there, the route leads pleasantly downhill, crossing under the Nordkettenbahn cable car to join the Rosnerweg trail, which leads west back to the starting point.
