Summit Hike
Pendling (1,563 Metres)

Towering above the town of Kufstein, the Pendling offers some of the best views in the Tirolean Unterland, the name given to the region east of Innsbruck. This moderately difficult hike begins in the village of Thiersee and rewards walkers with a fantastic panorama taking in not only the town of Kufstein but also large stretches of the Inn Valley and the surrounding mountains. The Pendling is also known for its wonderful flowers in late spring.

Trail description

From the car park at the Gasthof Schneeberg in Thiersee, a hiking trail well signposted towards "Pendling" leads into the forest. After about 15 minutes, leave the forest road at a bend to the right and follow a narrow path with a signpost marked "Pendling via Waldweg". After a good hour you will reach the first summit crucifix of the Pendling at 1,563 metres above sea level. The route continues almost flat to the second summit and slightly downhill to the Pendlinghaus. From there, the trail leads gently up and down to the Mittagskopf (1,542 metres).

The descent is via a forest path and a small forest path via the Kala-Alm (food & drink served) back to the starting point.
