Zirbenweg on the Glungezer
Up with the Glungezerbahn and at around 2,000 metres through one of the largest stone-pine stands in the Alps – almost level, with a view over the whole Inntal. One of the best-known high-altitude trails in Tirol.

Halltal in the Karwendel
The wild valley behind Absam: old salt-mining history, chapels and quiet paths into the Karwendel. Car-free – you walk in on foot or ride in by bike.

Walderalm and Hinterhornalm
From the Gnadenwald plateau up to two real Alms with a view of the Karwendel and a good Jause (snack). For many of our guests the most beautiful half-day in the region.

Places of power: the basilica of Absam and the Romedikirchl
The pilgrimage basilica in Absam and the Romedikirchl above Thaur are places for taking a deep breath – easy to combine with a light hike on the sunny slope.

Swarovski Kristallwelten
Glittering chambers of wonder, a large play tower and the garden with the giant – right in Wattens, so no long journey. Come early at the weekend, then it is quieter.

Burg Hasegg and the Münze Hall
The first Taler was minted here – forerunner of the dollar. In the museum you can strike a coin yourself and look out over the roofs of Hall from the mint tower.

Old town of Hall in Tirol
One of the largest preserved old towns in western Austria: narrow lanes, squares, small shops and cafés. Most beautiful with a guided tour or simply letting yourself drift.

Guided summer programme
The tourism association offers a weekly programme from herb hikes to sunrise tours – much of it is cheaper or free with the guest card.

Up with the Glungezerbahn
From Tulfes in two sections up the local mountain of the region – at the top the Zirbenweg, the view as far as the Karwendel and, in winter, a fine family ski area await.

Glungezer, Largoz and Hundskopf
Three real summit destinations for experienced walkers – from the panoramic mountain Largoz above Volders to the rocky Hundskopf in the Karwendel. Start early and take the weather forecast seriously.

Along the Inn to Hall
Flat along the Inn cycle path into the old town of Hall – eat ice cream, stroll and roll back at ease. Also easily doable with a bike trailer.

Hinterhornalm and Walderalm
From Gnadenwald uphill with views and a refreshment stop – the classic tour of the region. With an e-bike also for leisure riders.

Mountain biking on the Glungezer
Forest tracks and trails on the sunny side above Tulfes and Wattenberg – if you like altitude metres, you will find your tour here.

Bathing and swimming in the region
Open-air pools in Hall and the villages and small bathing spots for a quick cool-off after the hike – the tourism association has the overview.

Day trip to the Achensee
Tirol’s largest lake, a good half hour away – shore paths, boat trips and a grand mountain backdrop. With the Achenseebahn even the journey there becomes an experience.

Skiing on the Glungezer
The ski area of the region: manageable, snow-sure on the north slope and without long waiting times – ideal for families and leisure skiers.

Tobogganing and winter hiking
Natural toboggan runs like the long descent from the Glungezer and cleared winter paths through the Halltal or across the Gnadenwald plateau.

Cross-country skiing and ice skating
Quiet cross-country trails on the Gnadenwald plateau, plus ice rinks in the villages – winter at your own pace, even without skis.

Farmers’ market in the old town of Hall
Vegetables, cheese, bread, Speck and seasonal produce directly from farmers in the surrounding area – Saturday mornings in the old town of Hall. Afterwards, stay for a coffee in the lanes.

Brennerei Purnerhof
The Hupfauf family produces multiple award-winning fine brandies at the Purnerhof in Terfens – just beyond the region’s border. The finish for a good hut evening. Please enjoy responsibly.

Farm shops in the district
Over 30 direct marketers in the Innsbruck-Land district – from eggs and honey to cheese and meat. The overview shows which farm lies on your way.
