Winter experiences in Grinzens

Grinzens is also a wonderful destination in winter. It benefits from an excellent geographic location between two very snow-sure ski resorts. For example, it is very easy to get to the neighbouring Olympic ski area of Axamer Lizum, as well as the nearby resort of Kühtai. Well-maintained footpaths cross snow-covered meadows and fields, a small natural ice rink is located directly in the village and the crowning glory for all tobogganing fans is the almost 6 km long natural toboggan run from the Kemater Alm mountain hut.

A tradition of theatre in Grinzens

The village is known for its Sendersbühne theatre group. At the end of the 19th century, the high society of Innsbruck were already travelling to Grinzens for entertainment. Today, commitment and exceptional talent still characterise theatre life in Grinzens. The Sendersbühne theatre association has made a name for itself well beyond the region with its highly regarded open-air performances and Passion Plays. Light entertainment is also not neglected. The comprehensive programme runs year round and includes comedies, children's shows, musicals and sketch evenings.

Grinzens in summer - close to nature

Grinzens is the westernmost holiday village on the sunny alpine plateau and is known for its enchanting gems, impressive mountain peaks and rural charm. The Senders Valley in Grinzens is the perfect starting point for hikes and rock climbing tours in the majestic Kalkkögel mountains, the Dolomites of the North. There are wonderful places to stop for a break and a bite to eat, for example the picturesque Kemater Alm mountain hut or the high-altitude Adolf Pichler Hütte mountain hut. A well-developed forest road provides easy access by mountain bike or car (toll). Both places are good strategic bases for a wide variety of mountain adventures featuring unique viewpoints and natural gems such as the enchanting Salfeinssee lake.
