Summit Tours

Hiking to the very top

Are you a mountaineering fanatic? Or would you like to become one? If so, you're in the right place! We'll show you the most beautiful summit tours in the Innsbruck area. Not all of the peaks are difficult to reach and they don’t all require top mountaineering skills.

You don't have to be a mountaineering great like Reinhold Messner to conquer some of the local peaks. Here we have put together an overview of two easy summit tours.

These tours combine the uplifting feeling of reaching the summit with a comfortable journey there. The magic word is: "Bergbahn". Because where there is a mountain lift or cable car, you only have to complete the last stretch of the route up to the summit cross yourself. Then nothing stands between you and the perfect hiking experience.

Some summit tours only require a short hike, the rest of the route is covered by a mountain lift or cable car. To see these summit tours, choose "easy" in the filters below.

Are you looking for the ultimate mountaineering experience? Would you like to reach the summit under your own steam? If so, choose "difficult". The results will then show routes for experienced mountaineers with good fitness levels.

This hike starts behind the tourist information centre in Kühtai and leads up the ski slope. When you come to the wooden bridge behind the fenced off reservoir, cross the Stocktaler Bach stream and follow route no. 151 past the Kaiser-Maximilian-Hütte mountain hut. At an altitude of about 2,400 metres above sea level by the Schwarzmoosseen lakes, the route leaves the ski area and continues on past a memorial cross, across the northern slope of the Hintere Grieskogel (including a short section that is secured with cables) and up over the wide eastern ridge to the summit of Pirchkogel. There you are rewarded with unbelievably stunning views. The cross is a few minutes away on a peak just before the summit on the Inn Valley side. From there, you can either follow the route that leads down to the west via the Feldringer Böden to Marlstein or double back and follow the same route back down to Kühtai.
