Family hikes

This hike starts from the free car park at the parish church in Ranggen. First head east along the road and then continue past the Rangger Felder fields and the beautiful Wirtskapelle chapel to the hamlet of Itzelranggen and Hofschank Gutleben farm. A very scenic hike with beautiful views.

An intermediate-level local route from Rinn to the Rinner Alm mountain hut The route starts just past the village of Rinn and climbs steadily through the forest to the Rinner Alm. Approximately 1 km before the hut, the route becomes even steeper, allowing you to really enjoy a well-deserved break and bite to eat when you get there. Parking is available in Rinn on Hauptstraße road or in Oberdorf.

This route starts in the Kurpark spa gardens, crosses Patscher Straße road and then heads up through the forest with some short and some longer climbs. From there, you follow the route through the Rosengarten Nature Reserve to the fields below Goldbichl hill. Once you reach the highest point, the route goes back down to the Grünwalderhof hotel and over dirt roads to Pfaffenbichl before following the sunny Fernkreuzweg road back to the Kneipp therapy facility in the village centre of Igls.

From the Bergbahnen Oberperfuss lift car park (fees apply), follow Peter-Anich-Weg road west for about 300 m and then turn left to follow the road uphill to the recycling centre. From there, follow the Hagenweg trail (route no. 2) up to Stiglreith and then continue along the road to Sulzstich. From there, the route continues past a picturesque reservoir and follows a forest road slowly uphill to the beautifully situated Rosskogelhütte mountain hut (1,778 m). Lots of other hikes and mountain tours lead off from the hut. If the Bergbahnen Oberperfuss lifts are running, you can take the Peter-Anich I gondola to Stiglreith and the Peter-Anich II gondola to Sulzstich. From there, it's a 40-minute hike to the Rosskogelhütte mountain hut. For the hike back, you can either follow the ski slope with stunning views or the forest road. The Rosskogelhütte mountain hut serves excellent food and has a wonderful sun terrace. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Fees apply to park in the car park at Stiglreith. The panoramic Panoramastraße road to Stiglreith is closed to cars from 1 November until 30 March.  

From Rathausplatz square, follow Dörferstraße road west to the Marienkapelle (St. Mary's Chapel), then follow the blue-and-white signs (route no. 15) towards Finkenberg until you reach the Reindl residence. The hike then continues across the fields to Flinntal and through Hochwald forest, before following the signs for Canisiusbrünnl. When you come to the surge tank water facility, you will see a path that branches off to the Kaiserkreuz cross, which is just 100 metres away on top of a wooded hill. Before leaving the forest, you can choose to either turn left to return to the village or turn right to the Canisiusbrünnl alpine guesthouse.

By taking the Friedhofsweg and a path heading north-east through the fields, which is soon crossed by another, you'll come to the Leitlweg trail towards Thaur. The route leads uphill past the stations of the cross to the Romediuskirchl church with its (closed) hermitage. The route back leads north of the church through the Kaponssiedlung settlement towards Thaur and back to Rum.  This is an ideal walk for discovering the authentic charm of the villages surrounding Innsbruck.  Tip: Stop for refreshments at Romediwirt

Circular hiking trail: from the village road in the Raitis district, an almost level path branches off to the east and leads across the fields, heading east, south and west before returning to the starting point. Walking time: approx. 1 hour.

This circular hike starts from the car park at the Gemeindehaus (village hall), which is located opposite the listed church in the centre of the village. The route first takes us east along the village road to Mühlgasse road and then continues out of the village towards Angertal (the Anger Valley). Soon, we'll see the former Bergdoktorhaus up on our left, a building made famous by the TV series "Der Bergdoktor", and shortly afterwards the small Lettenkapelle chapel at the side of the road. The route continues from there along a paved road and various signs along the way point us in the direction of the Gerhardhof. After a few minutes, the route takes us right onto a narrow forest trail that leads southeast through a sparse forest towards a fire pit. From there, the route continues straight on towards the roofs of the Gerhardhof off in the distance. At the next fork in the trail, we take the path on the right and follow it for a short distance to the Gerhardhof campsite and guesthouse. For anyone who does not want to stop off for a break and a bite to eat at the Gerhardhof, you can take the forest road that turns off to the right just before the campsite and then turn left at the first junction. From there, the route takes us along beautiful forest trails back towards Wildermieming. Always keeping left, we continue along the trail to a small gravel pit and a hikers' car park above the main road. From there, a paved road leads past the outlying farms in Unterfeld and back to the starting point - the church tower in the distance also acts as a guide.     Highlight: the display boards in the Anger Valley that provide information about flora and fauna.

Start at the car park, follow the route past the two forest lakes and then turn right and continue through the forest to Haggen. Cross the bridge, continue past the Forellenhof Haggen and then take the path that leads from the "Maria Schnee" chapel across the fields towards the entrance of the valley. Cross the road and continue in the same direction along the path between the fields until you reach the start of the paved road. At the junction, follow the short uphill section to a holiday home in the forest and then take the trail to the Brandhöfe farms. From the farms, follow the route down to the main road and continue towards the entrance of the valley and Alt-Peida. After the cattle grid, cross the bridge to the other side of the valley and turn to follow the forest trail back the other way, away from the entrance of the valley. At the point where the trail meets the paved route into the Gleirsch Valley, take the route downhill over the bridge and past the fox playground. Shortly after the playground, turn left and continue back past the forest lakes to the starting point.

From the car park, we hike across the bridge over the Senderbach stream and then follow the forest road for a short distance. A few metres after the first left-hand bend, we turn right to follow the shortcut along a wide, cleared path through the trees, crossing the road once more and continuing up to the private Salfains Alm mountain hut (1,738 m). From the hut, we hike diagonally uphill to a small wooden cross, before continuing west through a small bowl and then out to the right onto the wide plateau that is home to the romantic Schönangerl/Salfainssee biotope and the Salfains hill (2,000 m). If you hike north for about 300 m from there, you will come to a small summit cross located just below the hill with magnificent views of the Inn Valley. Descent: hike back along the ascent route as described above or take the route via the Kemater Alm mountain hut, where you can stop for a break and a bite to eat.
