So you can discover the mountain world in a relaxed way and enjoy the view from the very beginning.

More hiking trails

In Brixental Valley, you can experience hikes without a mountain railway and enjoy nature to the full. However, there are also routes where you can use the mountain railway and complete the ascent in comfort. So you have the choice between leisurely hiking with lots of nature experiences or a mixture of both.
