Penken, Alpine summit in Mayrhofen, Austria

The Penken mountain reaches an elevation of 2,095 meters and features multiple hiking trails spanning across the Zillertal Alps range in Tyrol.

The mountain region developed into a recreational destination after the construction of the first Penkenbahn cable car system connecting Mayrhofen to the summit.

The Granatkapelle, designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, stands as a modern mountain chapel on Penken, combining religious architecture with alpine surroundings.

Visitors can access the mountain via the Penkenbahn gondola from Mayrhofen, reaching the mountain station at 1,790 meters in approximately 30 minutes.

The Panoramarundweg circular path spans 8.7 kilometers around the mountain, passing by six mountain restaurants and the reflecting reservoir near Penkenalm.
