If there is excellent snow cover all the way down into Innsbruck, this add on to the Höttinger Alm line is well worth doing. The skiing is great, and the novelty of skiing all the way to town is lovely. The skiing is initially in a wide gully and then leads you out rightwards into a beautiful and seemingly never ending track through forests which leads down past the Höttinger Bild church and down to the village of Hötting itself.
