Innsbruck, Götheweg Kar - Pfeishütte - retour

Wonderful views on the Inn river and Innsbruck, but also on the Karwendel! It took us (family with 11 and 15 year old kids) 6 hours, including a very short stop in de Pfeishütte, and including several stops for pictures and drinks. Be sure you know when the last descent of the Nordkettebahn is. From Altstatt to "Top Of Innsbruck" it takes about 45 minutes if you can each time catch the first gondel. Take enough drinks and sunscreen because almost no shade. The Mandlscharte on the west side is not easy to go up and tricky to go down, because of steep slopes with slippery pebbles, that made several unexperienced people we crossed very nervous and frightened. Make sure you have real hiking shoes, and walking sticks, especially if you are not an experienced hiker. Don't do this hike if it's wet, unless you really know what you're doing. Enjoy!
