Hiking

The Spieljochbahn takes you up to the mountain station at 1,860 m. From here, the wide gravel path suitable for prams meanders leisurely for about 15 minutes to the summit cross, which is also easy to explore for people with limited mobility. Those who would like to have a bit more excitement can take the barefoot path, which also leads to the summit cross right next door.

From the Spieljochbahn mountain station, the trail first leads downhill a short distance to the junction with the hiking trail to Geolsalm. The trail continues without ascending to the Geolsalm (1733 m). From the Geolsalm, the hiking trail leads uphill across alpine meadows to the summit of the Spieljoch (1920 m). From the Spieljoch it is only a few minutes back to the top station of the Spieljochbahn.

Take the gondola lift to the Spieljochbahn mountain station. From the mountain station the hiking trail leads to the Spieljoch - from there continue on the trail to the Geolsalm and then to the Gartalm (1830 m Hochleger). The Gartalm is a natural jewel. Cows and sheep are in the grazing area every day. With a bit of luck, you might even spot golden eagles, chamois, marmots, and snow hares, so it’s best to keep your eyes peeled. The 400-year-old alpine hut still shows traces from the time of silver mining. Mountain trail with award from the Tyrolean provincial government. From the Gartalm, the trail leads through treeless terrain to the Gamssteinhaus (Loassattel 1683 m) - past the Gamssteinhaus, the trail heads towards the Maschentalalm - Lamarkalm - and on to Hochfügen. Of course, you can also complete the hike in the opposite direction from Hochfügen to the Spieljochbahn mountain station. Take the free bus to Hochfügen and the Spieljochbahn back to Fügen.

To the valley station, the trail leads along the valley path past the Trojerhöfe farmsteads, from where you can take the forest path back to Fügen, either along the forest path or in the direction of the Sonnberg snack station.

From the Spieljochbahn mountain station, the trail first leads to the Geolsalm and then to the Gartalm (1830 m Hochleger).
