Country: Austria
Duration:
05:00 hours
Description
Accompanied by unique views of the Tyrolean mountains, we walk around Innsbruck's local mountain. We also hike part of the way along the famous Swiss stone pine trail.
Our meeting point is at 09:30 at the Patscherkofelbahn valley station in Igls. After a brief welcome, we take the cable car to the mountain station right next to the rustic Patscherkofel refuge. From here, we start our circular hike on the beautiful, panoramic Zirbenweg trail in the direction of Alpengasthaus Boscheben. Up to this point, the view of the Inntal valley and Karwendel mountains accompanies us through sparse stone pine forest and offers countless opportunities to experience the extensive panorama.
Now we leave the well-known Zirbenweg trail and follow the ridge towards the summit until we plunge into the silence of the Tux Alps to the south. As we walk around, the view opens up more and more towards the Wipptal and Stubaital with striking peaks such as the Serles, the Habicht and the Stubai Glacier Mountains. This always provides new perspectives and insights into the diverse, varied mountain landscape with its endless motifs.
Our onward route around Innsbruck's local mountain slowly leads us back towards the starting point and once again provides us with incomparable views of Innsbruck and the Inn Valley.
As we are in alpine terrain, we have to take account of weather-related conditions, which may make it necessary to change the itinerary. Further information and alternative tours can be found at tiptop.tours
