Walk Innsbruck below the Alps
Innsbruck is an alpine city on the Inn, with mountains rising straight up from the edge of town. FOG hides the map until you walk it, and you can clear streets in the morning and mountain paths in the afternoon.
The old town
The Altstadt is a small old town of arcades and painted houses, centred on the Goldenes Dachl, a balcony with a roof of gilded tiles. Nearby are the Stadtturm, a city tower with a viewing platform, the Hofburg palace and the Hofkirche.
South of the old town, the Maria-Theresien-Strasse is a broad street with views straight up to the Nordkette mountains. Across the Inn, the colourful houses of Mariahilf line the riverbank.
River and mountain
The Inn flows past the old town with riverside paths on both banks. The Hofgarten, a large park, is east of the centre. The Hungerburgbahn, a funicular with stations designed by Zaha Hadid, climbs from the centre toward the Nordkette, with cable cars going higher.
South of the city, the Bergisel ski jump stands on a wooded hill. Walking up through the woods gives a long climb and a view back over the city.
Mountain weather
Innsbruck has cold, snowy winters and warm summers, with sudden mountain showers. The city is flat, but trails start right at its edges.
The old town is small and fills quickly; the hills keep the map growing.
How FOG keeps score here
FOG starts with the whole world under fog. Every place you physically walk clears a circle of roughly 120 metres around you, and that ground stays clear for good. It keeps working with the app closed and the screen off once you allow background location, so the walk to dinner counts as much as the planned loop.
There is no account, no sign-up and no cloud. The trail lives on your phone and nowhere else, and you can export a GPX backup whenever you like. Exploring is free; one purchase of FOG Unlimited adds the higher ranks, all five character paths and history import, with no subscription.
