!!! Check the last cable car down when planning the hike !!!

Starting point:

Base station of “Seegrubenbahn”

Address:

Hungerburgweg 4, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria

Tips:

1.      Check the last cable car down when planning the hike

2.      Buy the cable car ticket at the bottom station; I was informed that they do not sell it at the top

3.      Proper hiking boots due to the gravel. Poles recommended for stability

4.      On the steep gravel path to Arzler Scharte, if you start sinking, it means you are off path. Always look out for the red white stripes

 

Driving:

If you cross the border at Mittenwald and take the B171 instead of A12, there is no need for a Vignette (Austrian toll sticker)

Automatic hut detection (experimental feature, please provide feedback)
