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.

This hike starts at St. Quirin Church in Sellrain. To the west of the church, you'll find a signposted forest road that takes you directly to a trail up through the forest to Meils. A broad ridge then guides you steadily west with views of the Rosskogel mountain the whole way. The route climbs very slowly up through wonderful alpine pastures towards the summit. At an altitude of about 2,400 metres above sea level, you leave the ridge and join a path that leads up the south-facing slopes of the Rosskogel to the summit. This hike is an absolute highlight thanks to the beautiful scenery and magnificent panoramic views, especially when looking out towards Innsbruck and the Inn Valley.
