Hausberg

This route, which lets the lift take some of the strain, also rewards you with panoramic views. From the Astbergbahn valley station in Going take the chairlift to the summit station at 1,267 metres. After alighting, keep right and follow the winter hiking trail into the forest in the direction of the Brenner Alm. Before heading out on the walk, you might like to fuel up with a bite to eat at the Blattlalm mountain hut. Along the route, the Brenner Alm mountain hut and the Treichlhof refreshment stop also boast beautiful sun terraces and traditional parlours serving Tirolean cuisine. Walk along the road through the district of Kirchbichl into the centre of Ellmau. Anyone looking for something more strenuous can follow this winter hiking trail in the opposite direction and climb uphill instead. In Ellmau, follow the road keeping the church on your left.
