Innsbruck**** Team Top Hiking Tip
On the Goethe trail to the Pfeishütte
This hike can be started directly from the hotel (Nordkettenbahnen) and is rather demanding (fitness required), requires a head for heights and good shoes. With these preconditions in mind, however, this is one of the most beautiful hikes in the Alps. The Goethe Trail leads directly under the ridge of the Nordkette and starts from the Hafelekar mountain station. The hike offers incredible views of the Karwendel mountains, the Karwendel Nature Park and the city of Innsbruck. Allow 5 hours of pure walking time, 10.5 km, 750 metres of altitude difference downhill and uphill again.
