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.

Anyone who makes it to the end of this hike has "bagged" a three-thousand-metre peak! The route starts at the church in Kühtai and leads past Hotel Astoria to the dam at the Finstertal reservoir – either along the paved route or a hiking trail. From there, take trail no. 146 and follow it along the eastern shore to the end of the reservoir. At the turnoff for the "Finstertaler Scharte" ridge after the reservoir, continue towards Sulzkogel. After passing a small waterfall, the trail heads west into a barren high-alpine valley.

The summit trail up to the top of Sulzkogel is now in sight. The trail takes you up the steep, south-east-facing slope and then up over the western side to the summit, which is marked with one small and one slightly larger cross. Follow the same route back.

Saturday will once again bring sunshine and extreme heat. As our area of high pressure has already lost some of its power, the risk of thunderstorms will increase. Because of all this energy in the atmosphere, thunderstorms may be quite heavy!

Sunday will then bring a mix of sunshine, clouds and thunderstorms. On Monday will see an improvement in the weather.
