Where are trail closures currently?

Bederlungersteig:

Due to clean-up work after windfalls, the forest trail "Bederlungersteig" (Pradl/Amras, course between Tummelplatzweg and municipal area Aldrans) is closed until further notice.

Aspachweg:

Due to the renovation of the avalanche dam Allerheiligen, the forest road "Aspachweg" is not passable for all road users. Heavy traffic by construction site vehicles is to be expected. Entering the construction site is prohibited.

Local bypasses have been set up, we ask for your attention. The completion of the construction work is planned until summer 2024.

Sill Gorge:

In the area of the northern access to the Sill Gorge (from Innsbruck/Wilten) there are ongoing large-scale closures due to construction work on the Brenner Base Tunnel. In this regard, please note the information on site.

The following routes are closed:

• From Bierstindl along the existing railroad line
• From Bretterkeller via the road to the Sill Gorge
• From the lower Sill bridge downstream in the direction of Innsbruck

Mountain bike trails:

Due to the new construction of the Mühlau Springs by IKB-AG, increased construction traffic/heavy traffic is to be expected on the MTB route "5017 Arzler Alm" from the Arzler shooting range to the Arzler Alm.

On the MTB routes "506 Seegrube", "505 Höttinger Alm" and "5018 Bodensteiner Alm" - starting from Hungerburg - the section between Rosnerweg and Arzler Alm is also affected by construction traffic.

Due to the construction work on the spring tunnels, the MTB route "5016 Rundtour Rumer Alm" and the connection via the Herzwiesenweg to the Rumer Alm are closed and not passable.
