Hiking


In the hiking season you can tackle wonderful tours on the Glungezer.

In addition to the famous "Zirbenweg", which you can explore at any time without a mountain guide the region also offers guided hikes. The Via Alpina, Europe trekking tour "MUNICH-VENICE", 7-summit tour "SEVEN TUXER SUMMITS", Adlerweg also passes us. At the reception you will receive a hiking map with detailed descriptions of the hiking trails.

Historical SOLE HIKING TRAIL to Halltal
GOOD LUCK! The historical brine hiking trail stands out from other hiking routes in TYROL: It precisely traces the path in the Halltal that the miners used to cover. Twelve stations provide information on the subject of SALT and impart interesting knowledge. At each station there is an interactive task for children to take part in. This makes the seven-kilometre hiking trail entertaining for the whole family!

The classic hiking needles are obsolete - now there is the digital hiking needle. All information can be found on the homepage: https://www.hall-wattens.at/de/digitale-wandernadeln.html.

Hike the GIPFELSTRÜMER needle, GRUBERTALTER needle or the KRAFTORTE explorer needle
 

Zirbenweg


7km Hiking pleasure at 2,000 meters above sea level - from Patscherkofel over the Stone Pine Path to Tulfes. 
Famous, popular, much frequented and still an uplifting experience every time! The Stone Pine Path above Innsbruck runs from the Patscherkofel mountain station to the Tulfeinalm (Tulfes). In good weather, also enjoy the panoramic view of more than 300 Alpine peaks.The best season for this hike is between June and October, the alpine roses bloom between the end of June and the end of July (depending on the weather).

The bus takes you from Tulfes to the valley station of the Patscherkofel cable car in Igls and the cable car takes you comfortably up to 1,964 meters. Above the "Schutzhaus Patscherkofel" not only the path towards the east begins, but also the "Naturlehrpfad Patscherkofel" of the Alpine Club.

The highest botanical show garden in Europe invites to "education on the spot" with more than 400 different high alpine mountain plants.
The Stone Pine Path leads to the somewhat hidden Boscheben Hütte on a wide climb or path. The path ascends and descends slightly, but without any significant change in altitude along the timberline at an altitude of over 2,000 m to the Tulfeinalm. Throughout the hike, you look down on the Inn Valley and enjoy the breathtaking backdrop of the Karwendel mountain range opposite. The Zirbenweg trail – hiking fun for young and old!

Ski touring

For lovers of nature, ski touring is probably the "ultimate ski discipline". Discover the unspoilt natural world with your own muscle power, conquer peaks on your own − the reward is fantastic descents on pristine terrain. There's hardly any other region in Austria that can offer so many "tour classics" as Hall-Wattens: The Volders and Watten valleys with the Wattener Lizum and the Glungezer rank as ski touring heaven.

With this selection of thoroughly enjoyable ski tours, we've tried to provide you with accurate and reliable information. However, we cannot accept liability of any kind. Responsibility for the choice of route and any risk assessment must be made by no-one else but the tourer.
