2. Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen

PANORAMIC MOUNTAIN The mountain at the heart of Innsbruck. The Nordkette is part of Austria’s largest nature park, the Karwendel Nature Park, and can be reached directly from Innsbruck city centre in just a few minutes! The breathtaking 360° view leaves a lasting impression, with the capital of the Alps on one side and Tyrol’s most extensive conservation area on the other. The Hungerburg funicular enables visitors to reach the Hungerburg in just 8 minutes. There are several stops along the way including the Alpine Zoo, which is a favorite among families. After reaching the Hungerburg station, a short walk across Hermann Buhl Square, named after the world-famous Austrian mountaineer, leads visitors to the cable car station. The Seegrube, at an altitude of 6,250 ft invites visitors and locals alike to relax, unwind and take in nature at its very best. Lying at an impressive 7,401 ft, the Hafelekar offers the most spectacular viewing experience.

Innsbruck is hemmed in on all four sides by the Alps, unfeasibly close, impossibly steep. And about forty minutes from the centre of town, by way of one funicular and two cable cars you are transported to what seems like the roof of the world. Make an amazing day of it, even as a non-skier, plenty of places to investigate at each stage of the ascent, pretty villages, the Alpine zoo, nice cafes and restaurants for a full and hearty Tyrol meal or a beer and a slice of apfelstrudel. And of course views to absolutely die for. Number one thing to do in Innsbruck by a country mile - and fully included in the excellent Innsbruck card. I really can't recommend this trip highly enough, and can't wait to do it again.

This is a short walk or bus ride from the village, it takes you up to to a plateau where the views of the area are stunning, from there you can walk to Kop See reservoir (a good walk) and then catch the bus back to Galtur all which are free using your card. You can do this all day long as the Siveretta can has no restrictions to usage.
4. Matterhorn Glacier Paradise
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,393 reviews
What does an Alpine paradise look like? Probably quite like Matterhorn glacier paradise. The peak with Europe’s highest mountain station soars 3'883 metres above sea level. The peak lift takes you up to the 360º viewing platform. The view from there is like paradise. You can see an incredible 38 four-thousand-metre peaks and 14 glaciers. And a must-see in Zermatt’s glacier paradise: a real glacier palace. Up above, there is a cinema lounge, fine cuisine, superb ski slopes and a little lower, on Trockener Steg or Schwarzsee, hiking and biking trails. And on top of that many unforgettable experiences the whole year round ...

The day that we spent at The Matterhorn Glacier paradise (and Gornergrat with our Peak to Peak pass) was prob our best in Switzerland. The views atop this mountain paradise were out of this world...the cable cars to get up there?!?! Magnificent... We loved the viewing stations, tunnel through the glacier with ice sculptures and restaurant up there. The movie area with short films about the area was also really neat, we watched them all. Some people might think this area is just for skiers, but it is not. We rode up in gondolas full of skiers, but we rode down alone and really enjoyed the views. Take your time and do the Peak to Peak ticket bundle if you can. We saved 50% because we had a Swiss Travel Pass. Getting up to the top is not cheap, but it is WORTH IT.
5. Rothorn

The best view of the Matterhorn The Rothorn is easily reached from Sunnegga in just 15 minutes. From here, you can see the Matterhorn from its most photogenic side. An added attraction is that you see all 38 four-thousandmetre peaks that surround Zermatt. We recommend: It is worth to get up early and enjoy the magnificent view at sunrise! A special item of interest up here is the themed hiking trail “Peak Collection” around the restaurant Rothorn. This special outdoor exhibition of 18 sculptures will connect you on an artistic level with the Alpine world of Zermatt and its many tales. Zermatt’s most beautiful mountain lake The Stellisee lake at 2,537 metres (8,323 ft) is the most-photographed lake in Zermatt. For sure, you have already marvelled yourself at a photo of the Stellisee, capturing the fascinating reflection of the Matterhorn. From Blauherd, you can reach the idyllic Stellisee in about 20 minutes. The famous flower trail also starts at Blauherd. This unique hike offers an unparalleled diversity of flowering plants. Your excursion can be ideally combined with a break at Stellisee lake or the sunrise ride.

Nice Tour to Rothorn for a great Paraglide and Hiking experience. From Rothorn you have a great view and amazing Panorama, a sweet coffee on 3200 meters and a good hike.

That was quite a surprise!We were there just for 2 days so it was by flipping the coin that we chose Zillertal Arena over Mayrhofen or Kaltenbach and what treat that was! It takes a full day of skiing to make the tour through some really nice cruising reds and a couple of blacks that are really ok if you are intermediate and above. The panorama is great, the slope grooming and snow quality up to pefection, plenty of space to enjoy skiing and a lift system that works amazingly! Of course the resort is expansive and you can easily spend 3 days without stepping on the same slope twice. If you like powder than this is also the place to be as almost in every point you can go off piste and pick your own track. Will be back again and again, thank you Zillertal Arena!

I rode the Gaislachkoglbahn as a tourist, most of the riders were going up to ski. The ride was very nice, with outstanding views. There is a very good restaurant at the middle station. At the top are the incredible views for free and the 007 Elements experience and the Ice Q Restaurant/Bar at additional cost. There is also a vending machine area for drinks and snacks, which has public restrooms available, which are also free! To get to this location, one takes a train to the Ötztal Bahnhof, then ride a bus to Sölden and get off at the stop right in front of the Sölden Bergbahnen, which is named the Sölden Gaislachkogelbahn Talstation. Then buy your ticket & start your ride up. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

There are lots of trails to explore, with small alpine lakes with glorious views. Sit and enjoy a drink or a meal on the terrace of one of the restaurants . Climb up the Wanglespitze, and if you have time, continue up the Rastkogel.
