Not only Innsbruck and Hall, but also the Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens are quick and easy to reach by car. Here, you can be enchanted year-round by modern art made of glittering crystals while enjoying the breathtaking panorama of the Nordkette mountain range.
Speaking of the Nordkette: A ride on the cable car to the Seegrube, nestled among the majestic peaks above Innsbruck, is always worthwhile, even if you don't have a hike planned. The view from up here stretches across the Inn Valley and, on a clear day, extends all the way to the Brenner Pass. You can also take in the city in all its splendor from a bird's-eye view. There's even a children's playground at this lofty height, and refreshments are also available.
On the opposite side of the city is the Bergisel, with its ski jump designed by star architect Zaha Hadid, which is used annually as one of the venues for the Four Hills Tournament. From here, you also have an unobstructed panoramic view of the Alpine town and can then visit the Tirol Panorama. This is a so-called giant circular painting, offering a 360-degree view of the Tyrolean struggle for freedom in 1809 across more than 1,000 square meters. Rarely is history presented so vividly.
For those seeking even more culture, a visit to the Hall Mint is highly recommended. A guided city tour also provides fascinating insights into the history of this 700-year-old town, which was the largest city in North Tyrol during the Middle Ages. Not only the minting of coins, but also the rich salt deposits contributed significantly to Hall's importance and prosperity. Even today, the well-preserved cityscape testifies to the history and former wealth of its inhabitants.
Should you feel like venturing beyond the borders of Tyrol, South Tyrol is easily accessible via the Brenner Pass. Bavaria can be reached via Seefeld and Scharnitz. The drive is scenic and worth the trip for that reason alone. Both destinations – South Tyrol and Bavaria (for example, Garmisch-Partenkirchen) – are suitable for a day trip.
Surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Alps, both Innsbruck and Hall impress simply by virtue of their location.
While Innsbruck, a two-time host of the Winter Olympics, proudly displays the ski jump on Bergisel as its landmark, on the opposite side of the valley, the Hungerburg funicular takes you up to the Alpine Zoo, or the Nordkette cable car whisks you to lofty heights high above Innsbruck.
In Hall in Tirol, steeped in centuries of history as a minting town, the Mint Tower is particularly worth a visit, but a stroll through the picturesque lanes also reveals many discoveries.
Both towns are ideal for a day trip or an evening stroll after an active day in nature. They are both accessible by car, bicycle, or public transport. The bus stop is located near the hotel. From there, bus line A runs to Innsbruck every 15 minutes. There are also regular bus services to Hall in Tirol.
In spring, summer, and autumn, the area surrounding Rum offers countless opportunities for active recreation. Besides a multitude of hiking trails of varying difficulty, there are also numerous mountain bike routes to choose from, covering more than 100 kilometers and offering something for every taste and skill level.
Located right on the edge of the forest, the Canisiusbrünnl is the perfect starting point for bike tours in all directions – and the sky's the limit, too. The routes range from easy and relaxed trails in the valley to challenging tours over hill and dale, reaching altitudes of over 1,600 meters. Innsbruck and its surrounding villages, with their numerous peaks and designated mountain bike trails, are a popular destination for mountain bikers from all over Austria and the world.

Canisiusbrünnl is located at an altitude of 740 meters in Hochrum. The mild climate, abundant sunshine, and tranquil setting amidst nature—yet close to the city—make us the perfect accommodation for a diverse and active holiday.
The surrounding area offers a varied program of activities in both summer and winter, with its numerous hiking trails and alpine pastures. The Karwendel Nature Park, with its wide range of recreational opportunities, is right on our doorstep. Whether a leisurely family hike or a more challenging tour, a toboggan run, or simply a relaxing winter stroll… the possibilities are endless.
Innsbruck and the medieval town of Hall in Tirol are also just a few minutes away by car or bus. Both offer a diverse shopping experience combined with top-notch culture and cuisine.
The Hochrum Sanatorium is just a short walk away, making us the ideal base if you wish to visit relatives who are receiving inpatient treatment.
The Tyrolean mountains are ideal for short or extended climbing, mountaineering, and hiking tours. Whether you're looking for a relaxing family hike to one of the numerous alpine pastures in the surrounding area or a challenging tour into the high mountains, the Canisiusbrünnl, located in the heart of Hochrum, offers the perfect starting point. The selection of via ferratas and climbing routes of varying difficulty levels leaves nothing to be desired here in the heart of the Alps. The Innsbruck via ferrata, for example, is very popular with experienced climbers.
The local tourism association offers a diverse and meticulously planned hiking program and guided tours. Participation, as well as the use of the various cable cars, is free with the Welcome Card. This saves you the strenuous climb from the valley and allows you to start your hike or other mountain activities high above the Inn Valley.
Numerous popular mountain huts are also directly accessible from the Canisiusbrünnl spring. They are perfect hiking destinations for the whole family or for a post-work outing. Two popular and completely different tours start and end practically on our doorstep. While the Rumer Alm is easily accessible at a leisurely pace, even with small children, the tour to the Pfeishütte in high alpine terrain presents a greater challenge. The Pfeishütte is situated at an altitude of approximately 1,900 meters and, like the Hallerangerhaus, is nestled in the majestic mountain landscape along the Tyrolean Eagle Trail. The ascent is sometimes quite steep. The climb can also be started from the Rumer Alm.
A whole host of other alpine pastures await discovery and exploration on leisurely hikes. The Höttingeralm is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists alike and can be easily reached, for example, from Hungerburg in Innsbruck. The Arzler Alm, the Umbrüggler Alm, and the Enzianhütte are also ideal for a relaxed hike with the whole family, including those with young children. The Bodensteiner Alm is situated somewhat higher than most of the other alpine pastures, at an altitude of around 1,600 meters below the Seegrube. Due to its location, the ascent is a bit more challenging and requires a certain level of fitness. Those who prefer a more leisurely approach can take the Nordkette cable car up to the Seegrube and from there stroll the approximately 300 meters to the rustic hut to simply enjoy the view and a traditional snack. Speaking of views: the Thaureralm, perched at almost 1,500 meters above the Inn Valley, also offers stunning vistas, as do all the huts and alpine pastures in the vicinity of Rum and Innsbruck. You can also visit several huts in a row during a hike. Feel free to ask us if you would like tips for a successful day of hiking.

The excellent infrastructure, state-of-the-art lifts, and numerous other winter sports facilities – from ski jumps to ice tracks – contribute to the region's appeal, and it's no wonder Innsbruck has hosted the Winter Olympics multiple times. The winter offerings are rounded out by a variety of restaurants and cafes where you can recover from your exertions in the fresh air and refuel for another run or climb.

Winter hikes
Even away from the slopes, Hochrum and the surrounding area offer first-class winter enjoyment. The Rumer Alm, for example, can be reached after about an hour's hike and, when snow conditions permit, is the starting point for a toboggan run that ends directly at the Canisiusbrünnl spring. Up here, you can fortify yourself with various delicacies before heading back down through the forest in the crisp winter air.
Numerous hikes can also be started from the Canisiusbrünnl spring. These hikes are particularly appealing in the crunching snow and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding snow-covered peaks. Here, far from the ski slopes, the pace is a bit calmer and more leisurely. Besides the Rumer Alm, there are other alpine pastures that also welcome guests in winter, such as the Arzler Alm and the Umbrüggler Alm.
Ice skating and cross-country skiing
When temperatures are suitable, you have the opportunity to ice skate at the Olympic Stadium in Innsbruck – and if that's not adventurous enough for you, you can take a ride in a guest bobsled down the ice track in Igls.
