The Zirbenweg – pleasure hike on the Patscherkofel

Beautiful hike on an easy path at an altitude of 2000m with a great panorama and beautiful pine trees. Thanks to the combined ticket for the cable car and bus shuttle, you don't have to go back the same way.

From Patscherkofel take the bus to Tulfes, then take the gondola up there. The Zirbenweg is a beautiful hiking trail about 7.5km long. With slight ups and downs. Even though it is an easy hike, I still recommend sturdy shoes. It goes over hill and dale! The view is fantastically beautiful and the cheese dumplings at the Patscherkofel Schutzhaus round it all off.

Our friends wanted to hike the Zirbenweg trail. So...here's to another one...but no matter: the Zirbenweg is always beautiful!

PARK N47.22263° E11.42688° Patscherkofelbahn car park 6€ fee, which will be refunded if you use the train WAYS mostly sunny alpine trail with only minor inclines/declines. It is best to do it during the week / off-season, as it is very popular with tourists. On the other side then take the train down and the bus back to the Patscherkofel train Note: There is a special Zirbenweg combined ticket caches The Zirbenweg round with good hiding places mostly off the beaten track. Nevertheless, partly because of many muggles, not always the best to search for. RETURN Boschebenhütte https://www.boscheben.at/ Small hut with the usual good hut snack and great view Tulferhütte https://www.tulferhuette.at/ Great food with original hosts. I had bacon dumplings on sauerkraut (only 1 dumpling! But it was supposed to be a child's head) and my better half had spinach dumplings in pine butter. Both very very tasty. SIDESTORY Almost nothing would have happened. Our exhaust broke off when we drove off. Quick garage and then continue with "Brummi". Therefore shortened tour.

Quote from oncoming hikers: "Aa sporty with crutches there." At the Patscherkofel only got as far as the middle station because of a storm. Promotion as an additional deposit. The Zirbenweg at an altitude of approx. 2000 m is one of the most beautiful mountain hikes in Tyrol and impresses with a fascinating view of the Inn Valley and the Nordkette.

Today we walked the Zirbenweg near Innsbruck. We started at the Patscherkofel mountain station along a beautiful path full of alpine roses and, of course, Swiss pines towards the Tuflein Alm. Once we got there, we naturally had a small Swiss pine schnapps alongside a delicious apple strudel. A lovely, easy hike with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and Innsbruck.

Today, in sunshine, we took the bus up to the Patscherkofelbahn (the ticket was free with the 24h Innsbruckcard👍). The Zirbenweg is sensationally beautiful, with endless panoramas 🤗 The path is not so easy to walk as there are large stones in it. We had to go through a few snowfields and finally through streams of meltwater. It was great 😍 The Zirbensee is also worth it. We took the Glungezer Bahn back down to Tulfes. ☀️ TOP

KOMOOT TOUR 500. So something nice has to be there. The Zirbenweg is probably one of the most famous (but also most frequently walked) high-altitude trails in Tyrol. Today...on a Monday it went quite well. Only in the last section from Boscheben to Patscherkofelschutzhaus were there really a lot of people...That's why the locals call the trail "Griassdigottweg"😂 We did it today from the Glungezer side and enjoyed a completely different panorama than usual... Wonderful hike, even if...even at almost 2000 meters, very hot
