Patscherkofelbahn Mountain Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The brand new Patscherkofelbahn has been running from Igls to 1,956 meters since 2017. Even at the mountain station you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Inn Valley and Innsbruck. Especially practical if you want to hike the Zirbenweg: There is a combined ticket for the ascent with the Patscherkofelbahn, the descent with the Glugenzerbahn and the subsequent bus transfer. You can find more information at patscherkofelbahn.at/de/sommer#sommer.

Patscherkofel Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Even if the name is a bit misleading, the Patscherkofel-Schutzhaus is a full-fledged and cozy mountain lodge with nice overnight accommodations. Especially after sunset you have a magical view of the Inn Valley and the brightly lit Innsbruck from up here. Also on a day trip worth a visit, because you can spoil yourself here with a delicious snack.

Zirbenweg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful panoramic section above the Inn valley. A lot of tourists and very busy in summer. Be early if you wanna go trailrunning here.

Zirbenweg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Incredibly beautiful mountain trail with amazing great nature. Take a camera with you and go best at a time when the rush of almighty flowers. The whole way is full of it. The rocks are also a real eye-catcher. They often look as if someone had purposely put them down in blocks. The pine pines are also great to look at if they grow from the smallest crevices or "directly" on stone.

On the way there is still a small highlight for me: You can deviate a few meters from the path (small dangling, from the normal path of clearly visible) and go through a "cave" of boulders.

Generally, very sturdy footwear and partially stable footing are necessary. In principle, the path can also be gone by children and older or untrained people, since the biggest difficulty here are a few shorter, narrow nature trails and many stone paths (chunks, plates, ...).

Rocky trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A rocky section of the Zirbenweg. The walking becomes a bit more technical here. So, with the beautiful view, don't forget to pay attention to the path.

Glungezer Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Delicious food, various sleeping options (room, camp or tent) and a sun terrace await you in the hut at 2,610 meters. The "Spaghetti à la Kathmandu" according to Sherpa Purba's secret recipe are particularly popular after a long day of hiking. And then there is a Glungezer spirit for the nightcap. If you want to stay here, it is worth making a reservation in advance.

Zirbenweg Trail

Highlight • Trail

Actually, the entire Zirbenweg is a highlight. Only the descent from the Patschkoferl is a bit boring but still with a beautiful view of Innsbruck and the Brenner Pass.
