From the Patscherkofel to Tulfes via the Stone Pine Path.
Famous, popular, much-travelled and yet every time an uplifting experience! The Stone Pine Path above Innsbruck runs from the Patscherkofel mountain station as for as the Tulfeinalm (near Tulfes).

Echte Bergler zieht es wieder in die Berge, aber nach dem Highlife in der Stadt kommt diese leichte Etappe gerade recht. Die Beine können noch etwas ausruhen, denn man fährt mit Bus oder Straßenbahn nach Igls, von dort mit der Gondelbahn zur Bergstation Patscherkofel. Der Zirbenweg ist ein breiter Pfad ohne steile Passagen, der Richtung Osten führt. Nur leicht ansteigend geht es hinüber zur Boschebenhütte. Von dort entweder ins Viggartal zum Meißnerhaus oder zur Tulfeinalm/Halsmarterlift. Talfahrt nach Tulfes und wieder zurück nach Igls und Innsbruck. Allerdings empfiehlt es sich, von Tulfes aus auch dem schönen historischen Städtchen Hall in Tirol einen Besuch abzustatten.
Author’s recommendation
Adlerkick · Im Ampasser Kessel wächst der vermutlich älteste Baum Tirols, eine über 700 Jahre alte Zirbe. Sie wurde bereits 1926 als Naturdenkmal ausgewiesen. Der restliche Zirbenwald ist genauso imposant. Zirben wachsen bis auf 2.500 Meter Seehöhe, ertragen tiefe Temperaturen und wachsen dementsprechend langsam. Der Duft ihres ätherischen Öls gilt als beruhigend. Wer das Kind in sich entdecken will, findet am Glungezer auf 1.560 Meter in einem Waldstück die größte Holzkugelbahn der Welt mit spektakulären Bahnen und lauffreudigen Zirbenkugeln.

Tulfeinalm
Turn-by-turn directions
Catch the bus from Tulfes to the Patscherkofel lift valley station in Igls and then take it easy on the gondola lift up to a height of 1,964m. A point above the Schutzhaus Patscherkofel restaurant marks the start not just of the footpath to the east but also the Alpine Club's "Patscherkofel Nature Trail" (Naturlehrpfad). Europe's highest botanical garden, where there are more than 400 different high-alpine plants on display, is a good place for learning in situ.
The Stone Pine Path follows a wide mountain track / path to the rather remote Boscheben mountain hut. The gently undulating path − without any major height differences – runs at the tree line some 2,000m above sea level as far as the Tulfeinalm. Throughout the whole walk, there is a fine view over the floor of the Inn valley against the stunning backdrop of the Karwendel range opposite. It's easy to take the Glungezer chair lift from near the Tulfeinalm down to Tulfes.
