Single Centre Walking Holiday

7 Nights (Igls)

Start the week with an orientation walk with your rep in the lovely village of Igls. For the next 5 days walks will take place in the following areas (Sunday - Friday).
PATSCHERKOFEL/VIGGARSPITZE: A local walk starting with a ride up the cable car in Igls to the top of the Patscherkofel, from where there are superb 360° views of the surrounding mountains. Famous for its 7km pine forest walk, the Patscherkofel is popular with locals and visitors alike.
SELLRAIN VALLEY: A bus will take you over to the Sellrain valley and the high alpine village of Kühtai today. At a height of 2,000m Kühtai is surrounded by dramatic peaks and pine forests and is an ideal starting point for both gentle and challenging walks. It is also well known for its alpine roses in June/July.
MIEMINGER PLATEAU: On the opposite side of the Inn valley at a height of 1,000m lies the Mieminger Plateau which is covered with larch forests and meadows and is criss-crossed with a network of both biking and walking trails. There are many red deer on the plateau which you might be lucky enough to see.
AXAMER LIZUM: A well-known ski area in winter, made famous by the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics, this high valley with its limestone peaks is also popular with walkers in the summer and the views from the summits are spectacular.
THE WIPP VALLEY AND ITS SIDE VALLEYS: The Wipp valley is the valley leading up to the Brenner pass and over into Italy and whilst the Wipp valley itself with its main rail line and motorway is very busy, it has some beautiful, quiet, unspoilt side valleys, such as the Navis, the Gschnitz, the Obernberg and the well-known Stubai valleys. With a variety of lakes, glaciers, waterfalls and alp huts as well as fantastic views, they all provide excellent walking possibilities.
THE WESTERN MITTELGEBIRGE: These mountains form the backdrop to Innsbruck's western holiday villages, such as Mutters, Götzens, Birgitz, Grinzens and Kematen and the forested paths above the villages provide plenty of gentle walking, whilst the more energetic can climb the peaks above them.
