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.

The trail starts behind the Wiesberghaus, opposite the tourist information centre in Kühtai. The path leads east and slowly climbs up to Hirschebensee lake. From there, the route gets a bit steeper as it continues uphill past the Mittlerer Plenderlessee lake before finally passing under the chairlift and continuing to the Drei-Seen-Hütte mountain hut and the lift station. When you get to the wooden planks at the edge of the ski slope, take the marked path that leads along Oberer Plenderlessee lake to Gaiskogel mountain. The trail then leads over large scree fields before reaching the ridge. From there, you can reach the summit in 30 minutes.

Forecast

We will experience typical foehn weather conditions today. The sky will be mostly bright with some mountain peaks being shrouded in “foehn fish clouds” (in technical jargon: “Altocumulus lenticularis”). The wind will be gusty at times in the valleys and temperatures will of course be warm.

Tendency

The next few days will bring nice and dry weather with a few bands of clouds passing over our region at times. The temperatures will continue to rise.
