The Hochzeiger in summer

Hiking and enjoying the scenery on the sunny mountain with its panoramic views

In summer, the Hochzeiger at the entrance to the Pitztal valley offers nature lovers a 100-kilometre-long, signposted hiking trail network. The Hochzeiger mountain railways take you effortlessly to four different alpine altitudes. At the ZirbenPark, young and old alike can experience nature. If you’re looking for action, you’ll find it on a ride with the Mountaincarts – or on the Hochzeiger Biketrails. Whether it’s action, hiking or simply taking it all in: the breathtaking 360° mountain panorama makes the Hochzeiger one of Tyrol’s most beautiful mountains for panoramic views.
