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.

From the tourist information centre, take either the route via Wiesberg/Drei-Seen-Hütte (1 ¼From the tourist information, you can either take the route via Wiesberg and the Drei-Seen-Hütte (1 ¼ hours) or pass by the Hotel Astoria and follow the Finstertal (1 ½ hours) to the dam of the Finstertal reservoir. Both routes offer scenic views of the surrounding area and are ideal for hikers who enjoy walking through natural mountain valleys. From the dam, the path continues along the AV146 trail beside the reservoir to its end. The view of the lake and mountains is particularly stunning here. At the start of the ascent to Sulzkogel, the entrance to the Finstertaler Scharte (AV146) is located on the left, which you will reach after about 1 ½ hours. From there, the challenging ascent to the summit follows, offering a spectacular panoramic view of the Stubai Valley and the surrounding peaks.
