Today we went up to the Patscherkofel, Innsbruck's local mountain.

We took the cable car patscherkofelbahn.at

up to the mountain station. From here you are spoiled for choice. Several tours are offered. We decided on a section of the Zirbenweg and the summit.

It was worth it and we'll be back again! 😄

Today we went to Innsbruck in a coach with many colleagues. But hardly a handful of them wanted to go hiking and we were under a lot of time pressure because we arrived late and the time window was small due to several program items.
