Götzens

Götzens is an ideal starting point for anyone who wants to explore the mountains. You can travel uphill in comfort on the Nockspitzbahn gondola. The bottom lift station is located directly in the village and is easy to reach on foot. The lift takes you up to Pfriemesköpfl at 1,800 metres above sea level, where you can enjoy views of Nockspitze, the mountain the lift is named after, or the nearby Olympic resort of Axamer Lizum. The Nockspitzbahn is part of the Muttereralm ski and hiking area and provides access to lots of different hikes and two cool, challenging Götzens downhill tracks that are part of Bikepark Innsbruck. A trip to the idyllic Götzner Alm mountain hut is also highly recommended. This popular hiking destination can be reached directly from the village and turns into a sought-after natural toboggan run in winter.

This church is alluring both architecturally and acoustically. The remarkable Rococo building from the 18th century features artistic stucco work in the interior and has been a popular pilgrimage site since the beatification of the priest and martyr Otto Neururer. The new altar, a memorial plaque and a peace bell were erected in Götzens in his memory and can still be seen there today. The church also holds high-profile concerts organised by the cultural association "Cultura Sacra". The extraordinary acoustics inside the church impress concert-goers and musicians alike. The pilgrimage church is home to a magnificently designed nativity scene and a very rare Passion crib made of paper, which can be viewed at the church during the Easter season.
