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.

You start at the car park in Praxmar, from where the trail first leads towards the Schefalm. From there, follow the well-maintained path up to the Oberstkogel. The ascent is steadily ascending and in large parts moderately difficult, so requires some fitness, but remains technically feasible.

Below the Oberstkogel, the route branches off and continues to the summit of the Zischgel - a popular panoramic mountain with impressive views over the Lüsenstal valley and the surrounding mountains.

The descent is either along the same route back or as a circular tour: in several, sometimes steep hairpin bends, the route leads down to the Satteljoch and on via the Kampljoch back to Praxmar.

Incidentally, the name Zischgeles is derived from the first name Franziskus - ‘Zischg’ is an old Tyrolean term of endearment.

Refreshment stop: in the valley at Gasthof Praxmar - ideal for refreshments after the tour.
