Ifinger

Ifinger is a summit in the Sarntaler Alps that rises to 2,581 meters with granite rock formations and steep slopes. The mountain offers views in multiple directions and serves both climbers and leisure hikers as a destination.

The Ivigna Cable Car system was built in 1968 by Hans Troyer and operated with its original infrastructure until modernizations in 2010. These upgrades significantly increased visitor capacity to the area.

The mountain carries both Italian and German names, Picco Ivigna and Ifinger, reflecting the bilingual culture of South Tyrol. This duality shapes how locals and visitors understand and discuss the place.

A cable car takes visitors up to 1,900 meters, from where a technical climb begins along marked trails. Safety equipment is required as the final sections are steep and exposed.

On clear days, visitors from the summit can see four distinct mountain ranges: the Zillertal Alps, Oetztal Alps, Texel Group, and the Dolomites. This rare view makes the spot special for nature observers and photographers.
