A challenging mountain run that takes you up past Innsbruck's mountain huts and alpine pastures to the Seegrube.
This challenging alpine running route starts in the Hungerburg district and leads up the "3er" ski slope, initially at a moderate incline that gets progressively steeper until you reach the Umbrüggler Alm mountain hut. From there, you follow steep mountain paths up to the Höttinger Alm mountain hut, followed by the only flat section of the route across to the Bodenstein Alm mountain hut, which gives you a little time to gather energy ready to take on the very steep final climb from the Bodenstein Alm up to the Seegrube.

A wonderful 4-kilometre-long extension to the Mühlau Trail that runs along the edge of the forest. Perfect for anyone who finds the Mühlau Trail too short.
This extra section leads to the Canisiusbründl guesthouse. At the edge of the forest, at the point where the Mühlau Trail turns left, this route goes right, heading east towards the boundary of the city. It leads up and downhill along the road and the Canisiusweg path to the turnstile, where you turn back.
The Zirmbachalm run
7.6 KM

This route starts along the main road and leads slightly downhill, largely on asphalt. Shortly before the first snow shed (the avalanche gallery protecting the road), you turn off to the right to follow a forest road leading through alpine meadows and undulating terrain. When you come to the main road, follow it for a few metres until you reach the Zirmbachalm mountain hut. The run then follows the same route back to the starting point.
