Hikes

From the car park, head through the gate and follow the gravel path towards the Stöttlalm mountain hut. Before reaching the Stöttlalm, you will come to a fork in the road. Take the route that leads through the forest towards the Boasligbrücke bridge. This good gravel path zigzags up the mountain and covers quite a few vertical metres. At the Boasligbrücke bridge, take the Pfarrer-Kathrein-Steig trail towards Henneberg and then continue along a varied and relatively steep path up to the Gachen Blick viewpoint. There you can enjoy magnificent alpine views and the impressive sight of the Judenklamm gorge below. It is possible to take an alternate route back by following the gravel road via Kohlgrube instead of the path via the Boasligbrücke bridge.

A tour through the trellises and rows of trees in Mair's Beerengarten (Mair's berry garden) is a sensory walk and impressive culinary journey in one thanks to the on-site fruit tasting. From Mair‘s Beerengarten, you walk up to the parish church and follow the "Weg der Sinne" (Path of the Senses), which leads slowly uphill towards the edge of the forest and soon turns right. The trail then gets steeper and winds around a few bends as it leads up to the Antoniuskirche church, which is well worth seeing, and the striking Kalvarienberg (or calvary hill) with its wonderful views over the Inn Valley and the surrounding mountains. From there, the trail leads back down to the centre of Rietz, past the famous Kluibenschedl house and back to the starting point.

An easy hike that starts in the district of Mühlau in Innsbruck and follows a forest trail to the Rechenhof alpine guesthouse, where a wonderful sun terrace invites hikers to relax and enjoy. From there, there are two routes to Hungerburg, neither of which have any major climbs. The first option is to take the hiking trail, the second option is to follow the easier forest road. If you would rather not walk back, you can take the Hungerburgbahn funicular. It stops right in Innsbruck city centre. 

Easy loop with fantastic views of Habicht and the Stubai Glacier.   After the start at the old Patscherkofel valley station in Bilgeristraße through the Kurpark, cross Patscher Straße and briefly follow the Gletscherblickweg. Turn left and walk uphill through the forest and the Rosengarten nature reserve. Follow the path until you reach the Grünwalderhof farm and turn right shortly before it. Go downhill towards the fields and then turn sharp right onto the Gletscherblickweg.  Follow this to Patscherstrasse, cross it and return through the Kurpark to the starting point.

The ridge crossing from the Glungezerhütte mountain hut to the Lizumerhütte mountain hut via the "seven Tuxer summits" is a classic Alpine divide trek located along the Munich-Venice "Traumpfad" (Dream Way). This section is considered to be the striking Tyrolean centrepiece of the alpine crossing from the Glungezer (2,677 m) to the Lizum (2,019 m) in the Watten Valley. Access Travel from Hall to Tulfes and take the Glungezerbahn lift up to the Tulfeinalm mountain hut (single chairlift to the mountain lift station). Follow route no. 37 or 333 to the right as it leads briefly west down to the Tulfeinalm mountain hut (2,035 m). From there, go south along the "Recheis-Weg" trail up to the Tulfeinjöchl (2,278 m) and the valley lift station of the Glungezer-Materialseilbahn, a material ropeway for transporting goods. Continue along the panoramic Glungezer-Panoramasteig trail no. 333 to the Glungezerhütte mountain hut.   Sure-footedness and a good head for heights are required. The first half of the route to the Grafmartspitze doesn't always follow a path; sometimes it instead crosses areas of large rocks and boulders. However, the trail markings were recently updated so the route is well-marked and very scenic! The rocky ridge crossing from Glungezer to Lizum (Munich-Venice) is signposted throughout and secured with ropes in several places. A steel rope has been installed for the descent from Rosenjoch. When wet, however, the rocks are sometimes very slippery.  Due to the long walking time, it is absolutely necessary to leave the Glungezerhütte early in the morning. Take drinking water with you, there is no water along the route.

This high altitude hike from Innsbruck to the Karwendel Nature Park guarantees wonderful views of the Inn Valley, the city of Innsbruck, the Wipp Valley and the Stubai Valley. In the other direction, walkers can catch a glimpse of the impressive Praxmarerspitze peak. Certain sections of the Goetheweg trail are extremely narrow and rocky so surefootedness is a must. The descent via the Arzler Scharte, in particular, is quite steep and difficult. It covers 1,300 vertical metres over loose Karwendel rocks and scree, requires surefootedness and is only for experienced mountain hikers who are in a good physical condition and wearing hiking boots. The route starts at the Hafelekar, which is the top station of the Nordkettenbahnen lifts and cable cars. The bottom station is located directly in the centre of Innsbruck. From the Hafelekar, take route 219 and follow it west as it leads downhill. The trail leads past Hafelekarspitze on the south side of the peak and then continues downhill for a short distance before following a level path on the southern side of the mountain. The trail then snakes its way briefly uphill before heading diagonally down into the Mühlkar corrie. Continue west below the Mandlspitze peak and then follow the trail steeply uphill to the Mandelscharte. From there, continue west again down to the Arzler Scharte.  The descent from the Arzler Scharte (route 217) follows a steep trail that leads south down a talus slope. The trail covers 1,300 vertical metres over loose Karwendel rocks and scree, requires surefootedness and is only for experienced mountain hikers who are in a good physical condition and wearing hiking boots. Upon reaching the forest, the trail continues straight down the mountain. At the next turnoff (not signposted), keep right to stay above the road and follow the narrow mountain path to the Arzler Alm mountain hut, where you can enjoy a well-deserved refreshment break. From there, it's just a short walk back to Hungerburg along a signposted mountain path.  

This hike starts from Lehnbach car park and leads through a large area of pastures, following a forest road that climbs gently uphill to the Stöttlalm mountain hut. The rustic mountain hut offers refreshments and regional delicacies and features a terrace with magnificent views that stretch over the Mieming Plateau and all the way to the Stubai Alps. From there, follow the forest road that runs parallel to the golf course until you come to a paved road. The hike continues along a path that leads off to the right past the Greenvieh restaurant and the Alpenresort Schwarz. It then continues past the Josefskapelle chapel and fountain, where you can fill your bottle with top quality spring water. The last stretch back to the car park passes the petting zoo at the Alpenresort and gives you the opportunity to take a look around Steirer's farm shop.

Enjoy stunning panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscapes. This easy walk leads from Kirchplatz square in Götzens along Burgstrasse road, crosses the main road to the M-Preis supermarket and then continues from there through the "Götzner Felder" fields. There is a children's playground along the way, and plenty of other interesting places and gems to admire and enjoy. One very special ensemble: the baroque Field Chapel with its wayside cross. A paved and well-maintained hiking and walking route - 4 km.   

This route leads past the Murmelspielplatz playground and over the bridge before turning immediately right to follow the path along the Zirmbach stream. From St. Sigmund, it is possible to hike to the Gleirschalm mountain hut.

From the car park, follow the forest road to Zwischensimmering. From there, you can join the Panorama-Rundweg trail, a panoramic circular route around Grünberg mountain. After completing about two-thirds of the trail, you will come to a junction where a path leads off to the left and takes you up to the top of the Grünberg. At the top, there is a large observation tower with wonderful 360° views of the surrounding mountains. To get back, rejoin the forest road and follow it to Zwischensimmering before continuing back down to the car park.

This hike starts from the Forellenhof restaurant, crosses the bridge and follows the path leading into the valley. Continue until about 2.5 km before the water catchment facility and then turn right to follow the steep path up to "Hüttl am Stoan". Keep following the path until you come to the point where two streams meet. Turn left past the Muggenbichl and continue through the second narrow ravine to Kraspessee lake. Be sure to take the same route back!

This hike starts from the Forellenhof restaurant and follows route no. 42 across the bridge and into the valley. Continue until about 2.5 km before the water catchment facility and then turn right to follow the steep path up to "Hüttl am Stoan". Take the right-hand trail up into the Steintal valley towards the Steintalsattel. On your right, you will see the 2,742-metre-high Steintalspitze peak. Then cross the col, hike down to the Finstertal reservoir and follow the service road to Kühtai.

Starting from the cattle grid after the hamlet of Haggen (on the side of the hamlet closest to Kühtai), a beautiful trail zigzags up through an area of afforested protection forest to the Höhenwanderweg (high-altitude hiking trail).

From the Bergbahnen Oberperfuss lift car park (fees apply), follow Peter-Anich-Weg road west for about 300 m until you come to the turnoff for the recycling centre. Follow this road uphill to the left, past the recycling centre. Keep left and continue along the forest road as it gently climbs up through the woods to Stiglreith at an altitude of 1,363 metres above sea level. In summer, this route is a popular mountain bike trail. Highlights: the shady forest sections and the stunning views of the Inn Valley and the surrounding mountains from Stiglreith.  

From Grünberg car park, follow the signs towards Simmering. After following the forest road for about an hour, you'll come to Zwischensimmering where a bench at the side of the path invites you to take a short break. From there, turn right and follow signs towards the Simmeringalm. As soon as you pass the first bend, turn left off the forest road to follow the Harnersteig trail into the beautiful forest. The trail snakes slowly up the mountain until it comes to a fork in the path with a sign that points left to the Haiminger Alm mountain hut. If you turn left, you come to an alpine meadow with a hunting lodge: the Harnerhütte. A discreetly signposted path leads through the meadow past the hut. From there, the route continues along a narrow hiking trail for about 45 minutes and then joins a forest road. After about another fifteen minutes, you reach the rustic Haiminger Alm with its wonderful alpine pastures and fantastic views of the Inn Valley and the Stubai Alps. The route back initially follows the same forest road. When you come to the fork, however, the route diverges from the path to the Simmeringalm and the Harnersteig trail and instead follows the hiking trail that leads through the forest above the Inn Valley. Continue along this trail for about an hour to Zwischensimmering. From there, follow the same forest road back to the starting point.   Highlight: "Inntalblick" viewing platform (1,320 m): On the way back, it is well worth taking a detour from Zwischensimmering to the "Inntalblick" viewing platform. The walk from Zwischensimmering takes about 15 minutes.
