The Joelspitze between Alpbachtal and Wildschönau is known for its beautiful, racy ski slopes. In summer, its grass-green meadows provide panoramic hiking pleasure.

Tour character

The most beautiful way to conquer the Joelspitze: take the cable car in Auffach to the Schatzberg, then follow a gentle high-altitude trail and moderate climbs of just 400 meters up to the 1,964-metre-high Joelspitze. From here you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view from the Karwendel to the Kaiser mountains and the Zillertal Alps. Either return to the Schatzberg mountain station and take the gondola down to Auffach or hike directly to the valley station.
