Swiss Stone Pine Days on the Glungezer. Press release
Three cheers for the Swiss stone pine! The Swiss stone pine is also known as the ‘Queen of the Alps’ – but there’s no doubt that it reigns supreme on the Glungezer. Like no other tree, the Swiss stone pine has shaped the mountain landscape for centuries. Not only the tree itself, but also products made from Swiss stone pine, such as Swiss stone pine wood and Swiss stone pine schnapps, are well represented on the mountain. Here, where Central Europe’s largest Swiss stone pine forest is located and the characteristic scent of the Swiss stone pine is ever-present in the air, is the ideal place to celebrate Swiss Stone Pine Days on the Glungezer.
From 5 to 6 July 2025, visitors can look forward to a varied programme centred on the Swiss stone pine. Alongside hikes, forest bathing, yoga and readings, the Swiss stone pine market on Saturday 5 July is one of the highlights of the Swiss Stone Pine Days in Tulfes. There will be live music at the mountain huts.
The programme of events for the Zirbentage is as varied as the uses of Swiss stone pine.

The “Kugelwald am Glungezer” mountain adventure park offers fun and games in the great outdoors for the whole family, away from the main programme. As well as rolling Swiss stone pine balls and a variety of ball tracks, this wooden adventure park features a DIY area, various activity stations and a relaxation area complete with a viewing platform. The low ropes course and the disc golf course around the middle station also provide entertainment on the mountain for older children. A special highlight for hiking enthusiasts is the world’s longest Swiss stone pine bench on the Schartenkogel – it offers breathtaking panoramic views and is the perfect spot for a relaxing break.
Nature lovers can enjoy a leisurely hike along the Swiss stone pine trail above the Inn Valley through one of Europe’s oldest stands of Swiss stone pine. Breathtaking views and the scent of Swiss stone pine make for a magical hike in the high mountains.
