Top of Tyrol at Stubaier Gletscher

Pitztaler Gletscher

After breakfast at the AC Hotel, we took a train west to Imst where we caught the next bus to Pitztaler Gletscher. We ascended via funicular and gondola to visit the highest cafe in Tyrol and its mountaintop 360° observation platform. After descending to mid-mountain, we walked to a nearby tiny chapel before returning to the valley and Innsbruck afterwards.

Hintertuxer Gletscher

After breakfast at the AC Hotel, we took a train and bus over to Hintertuxer Gletscher in the Ziller Valley. We took three separate gondolas to reach the top. Once there, we enjoyed the view and walked on the snow a bit. After returning to the valley, we took a quick walk to see a waterfall before returning to Innsbruck.

Gornergrat to Riffelberg

We decided to do a hike down to the Riffelsee lake in the late morning from Gornergrat. It was quite beautiful. We decided to continue onward to Riffelberg rather than returning from the nearby Rotenboden station. We passed by a smaller but even more beautiful lake on our way. Ultimately, we ended up hiking for much longer and further than we had planned!

We headed over to Fiesch by train this morning to visit the mountains that are part of Aletsch Arena. We visited two mountaintops by gondola & aerial tram and also walked between two mid-mountain towns. A fantastic day!
