Glungezer Circular Hike

Hiking in high alpine terrain without having to climb for hours on end? That is precisely what is on offer here. Walkers of all ages simply hop on the Glungezerbahn cable car in Tulfes and ride up to 2,000 metres above sea level. From the top of the cable car, most of the walking is on flat terrain, first along the "Zirbenweg" trail heading west and then along the "Glungezer Höhenweg" to the Glungezerhütte before heading back to the starting point.
The adventure begins with a ride to the top of the Glungezerbahn. Hikers then follow the "Zirbenweg" trail in a westerly direction to Boscheben (hungry walkers can take a break at the nearby Gasthof Boscheben). Head back along the way you came for a few minutes until you reach the turning for the "Glungezer Höhenweg" on the right. From here, the trail leads around the Viggarspitze mountain in around 2 hours to the Glungezerhütte.
