Hiking to the very top
Are you a mountaineering fanatic? Or would you like to become one? If so, you're in the right place! We'll show you the most beautiful summit tours in the Innsbruck area. Not all of the peaks are difficult to reach and they don’t all require top mountaineering skills.
You don't have to be a mountaineering great like Reinhold Messner to conquer some of the local peaks. Here we have put together an overview of two easy summit tours.
These tours combine the uplifting feeling of reaching the summit with a comfortable journey there. The magic word is: "Bergbahn". Because where there is a mountain lift or cable car, you only have to complete the last stretch of the route up to the summit cross yourself. Then nothing stands between you and the perfect hiking experience.

Are you looking for the ultimate mountaineering experience? Would you like to reach the summit under your own steam? If so, choose "difficult". The results will then show routes for experienced mountaineers with good fitness levels.

hiking trail
The hike starts behind the mountain station of the Patscherkofel cable car, where the well-developed panoramic trail begins. The path is easy to walk on, but can be classed as moderately difficult due to the constant incline.
During the ascent, there are magnificent views over the Inn Valley, and the higher you get, the wider the panorama opens up in all directions. After a continuous ascent, you reach the Patscherkofel Gipfelstube (2248 m), which has a cosy sun terrace and invites you to take a break.
Not far from the summit parlour is the summit cross, which is not only a beautiful destination, but also a great photo motif with spectacular views of the Inntal valley and the Stubai valley.
The return route follows the same panoramic path back to the Patscherkofelbahn mountain station. This tour is ideal for hikers looking for a route with great views and a moderate challenge.
