    Peakbagging trail run in the Tux Alps. From the Patscherkofelhaus over the well-known peaks of Viggarspitze and Glungezer continuing along the ridge towards Rosenjoch. From Glungezer the terrain becomes difficult, running is hardly possible, so progress through the boulder terrain is relatively time-consuming. Only after the Grünbergspitze do we have the altitude meters behind us and can now run downhill. It is a long way to Matrei, so a stop at Ochsenalm is highly recommended.

    Author’s recommendation

    Refill water at the Glungezer hut, stop at the Ochsenalm.

    Roadbook

    Starting at the mountain station of Patscherkofel, you go over the Zirbenweg to the Viggarspitze, which can also be bypassed. Continue to the Glungezer hut to refill water. From Glungezer, the path runs along the ridge, mostly over boulder terrain. Running is only possible in places. Sure-footedness required, there are also a few short climbing sections on the descent. Ridge route over Kreuzspitze, Rosenjoch and Grünbergspitze. Here turn right towards Arztaler Alm and stay on the hiking trail along the ridge, running downhill towards Seebleskogel. Continue to Pfoner Kreuzjöchl (can also be bypassed on the right), where you then turn east to the already visible Ochsenalm (opportunity to stop). After Ochsenalm, follow the forest road down to the valley to the train station in Matrei and return to Innsbruck by train.
