Goethe already knew that you can only really get to a place on foot. The alpine-urban adventure area of the Innsbruck region is also perfect for exploring on foot. Tyrol's capital offers interesting themed trails that range from the medieval old town to dizzying heights. But there is not only a lot to see in the city. The villages around Innsbruck also offer exciting sights. Idyllic little squares, pretty farmhouses and lovingly renovated churches and chapels are waiting to be discovered.
Varied walks in the region
The following selection of routes shows just how varied sightseeing on foot can be in Innsbruck and the surrounding area. From the classic tour with historical information to an excursion with mountain air, everything is included.
This tour with ascent aid gives you a taste of alpine-urban air with a summit experience on the Nordkette mountain range. The Alpine Zoo also awaits visitors along the way.
From the spa gardens in Igls, the trail leads to the Goldbichl, a prehistoric sacrificial site. Information boards reveal more about the rites and practices of life back then.
The Walks to Explore take you between historic alleyways and modern districts. If you wish, you can also be accompanied digitally - in the form of a web app with an interactive map.
