Fulpmes: Blacksmithing, Nature Trails and Mountain Views

Explore Fulpmes through a range of interests: the village’s blacksmithing tradition and a nativity scene museum sit alongside nature trails and mountain views in Schlick 2000. If you’re looking for a hotel in Fulpmes, consider whether village culture, family-friendly activities or seasonal mountain activities should be the focus of your trip.

Blacksmithing and Church Art

The Blacksmithing Museum in Fulpmes, housed in the Riedlhaus, traces the development of blacksmithing and displays several original tools from the 19th century. Highlights include the old Riedl forge, a grinding machine largely preserved in its original condition from 1812, and a blacksmith’s hammer from 1836. This overview of the craft is brought to life by specific, dated exhibits.

The Tyrolean Nativity Scene Museum in Fulpmes is located in the center of the village, opposite the church, next to the 500-year-old Platzwirt. The parish church in Fulpmes also houses a Holy Sepulchre designed by local architect Clemens Holzmeister; it dates from 1952. The cultural highlights thus range from the blacksmithing tradition and nativity scene art to a work of sacred design.

Forest Trails with Different Highlights

The Schlick 2000 nature trail leads from the Kreuzjoch mountain station through Swiss stone pine forests and dwarf pine fields to the Schlicker Alm. The trail is family-friendly and suitable for strollers. Along the way, various stations explain the rocks, trees and animals found in the area. The route thus combines a walk with nature topics you can discover along the way.

The Scheibenweg offers a different route: it leads from the panoramic lake to the Froneben middle station through a spruce forest. Its named endpoints and forest section give you a concrete sense of the route. The nature trail, by contrast, focuses on stations about rocks, trees and animals, as well as the route to the Schlicker Alm.

The Treehouse Trail runs through a forest area of just under 5,000 m². The route is easy to walk and suitable for strollers. Visitors are welcomed to the Treehouse Trail at the middle station of the Kreuzjochbahn in Schlick 2000. If stroller accessibility matters to you, this feature is specified for both the nature trail and the Treehouse Trail; the Treehouse Trail is also easy to walk.

Mountain Views and Activities for Children

The short panoramic trail leads from the Kreuzjoch mountain station to the “StubaiBlick” viewing platform and is accessible to families and seniors. The platform is at an altitude of 2,160 meters. From there, views extend across the Stubai mountain massif and the Kalkkögel, and over Innsbruck as far as the Zillertal and the Wilder Kaiser. Since access to the mountains depends on the season, check current operating conditions before your outing.

The Fulpmes Adventure Park has a dedicated children’s climbing park for children aged three and up. Activities and age requirements may change; check them before your trip. The “Jagerhäusl” bus stop is right at the park entrance. Buses to and from Innsbruck run every 30 minutes from there. Since the frequency may change, check the current timetable before setting off.

The children’s area in the Schlick 2000 ski resort includes a children’s lift, magic carpets and a ski carousel. The Schlick 2000 hiking center offers leisurely tours, family-friendly trails and challenging summit hikes. The options therefore range from child-friendly facilities in the ski resort to hikes for different ability levels. Lift and trail availability depends on the season; take this into account when planning.
