Hiking tour Ifinger hut
Short description
The Ifinger is one of the most famous mountains in Meran and environs and is therefore very popular. Nevertheless, it is worth a hike if only for the fabulous views as far as the Dolomites.
Description
The hike up the Ifinger has an alpine character and leads partly via a via ferrata. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are therefore prerequisites for climbing the Ifinger.

Route description
The hike starts in Meran Obermais. To make the first ascent easier, hikers take the Ifinger cable car to the mountain station and start the hike there. From the mountain station, the trail first leads over the Naifjoch to the St. Oswald church and from there on to the Kuhleiten mountain station.
From here, continue along the ridge to the Kleiner Ifinger. Below the Kleiner Ifinger, a path with chains branches off and leads to the Großer Ifinger, one of the most beautiful and panoramic mountains in Meran and environs.
