Max. route length
12.7 KM
Starting point
Patscherkofel cable car, summit station (1,952 m)
Endpoint
Glungezer chair lift, summit station
Start at the bottom lift station of the Patscherkofelbahn and take the gondola up to 1,965 metres above sea level. From there, the Zirbenweg trail follows a wide mountain path to the rather remote Boscheben mountain hut. The path is gently undulating and follows the tree line at over 2,000 metres above sea level without any significant changes in altitude. The route takes you through centuries-old stone pine forests and has breathtaking backdrops and stunning views of the Inn Valley every step of the way. On the other side of Innsbruck, the impressive Nordkette mountain range rises up and marks the start of the Karwendel mountains.
Continue past the Boscheben mountain hut for about one kilometre and then take the turnoff towards Issboden. This takes you down past the Sistranser Alm mountain hut to the village of Sistrans. From there, you can take the bus (Postbus) back to the starting point.
Postbus – daily, see http://www.innsbruck.info/pdf/postbus_zirbenweg.pdf; free for guests with a Welcome Card.

Forecast
After yesterdays few clearer spells, the weather will get much worse again today due to an area of low pressure pushing in from the Arctic Ocean bringing humid and cold air into our region. We will see a dull day with frequent snowfall.
Tendency
After this excellent performance, Old Mother Frost will leave us for a while. From Tuesday, the weather will become drier and the clouds will partially clear.
