Mountain hikes The Axamer Lizum Hochtennbodensteig trail

Description

Awarded the title: "Tiroler Bergweg mit Auszeichnung" (Tyrolean mountain trail of excellence).
A great but also very demanding high-altitude hike in Axamer Lizum.
The tour starts from the bottom lift station of the Birgitzköpfllift chairlift. From there, you take the 2-seater chairlift up to the Birgitzköpflhaus and then continue on foot via Halsl, Schneiderspitze, Widdersbergsattel and Hochtennboden to the Hoadlhaus mountain restaurant (covering approx. 400 vertical metres). Total walking time approx. 3.5 hours > The Hoadlbahn takes you back down to the starting point – the hike can also be completed in the other direction!

The area is home to many alpine animals such as sure-footed chamois and, at lower altitudes, curious marmots. If you hike back down to the starting point along the Damenabfahrt, you may well spot these animals along the way!
