Going for a tour in the wilderness surrounded by empty valleys it is always a good choice and it never gets boring, but sometimes time is not enough to drive that far from town and - let’s be honest: it doesn’t happen everywhere of being able to go for a ski tour and still being that close to a city. Switching from wild landscapes to a rather big city as a background will for sure leave you breathless too. With this route you will indeed start from the Inntal, driving only a few kilometers toward east from Innsbruck downtown and - also thanks to the lifts of Glungezerbahn - you will reach the peak of Glungezer, a rather mellow mountain which is checking on Innsbruck from above. Thanks to a perspective game, from town it looks like Patscherkofel holds the scene, but Glungezer peak - which is located only a little bit to looker’s left and a bit far in the back - is actually higher than Patscherkofel and has to offer a wider variety of ski tours.
