A summit victory is a special experience every time - especially at sunrise or sunset. The literal feeling of elation you get when you have climbed a mountain and have a bird's eye view of the world cannot be compared to anything else. There are plenty of opportunities to experience this in the Innsbruck region, although not every tour to the very top is necessarily associated with great effort: thanks to the support of the mountain railroads, many a summit can be conquered in a very relaxed manner.

The five most beautiful summit hikes in the region

Not only the view from the summit of the Kögele is an experience, but also the way there: the alpine pastures with their beautiful flowers alone are worth every excursion.
From barren slopes to vast fields of alpine roses: There is a lot to discover on the summit tour to the Sonnkarköpfl at over 2,200 meters above sea level.
The moderately difficult tour to the Pirchkogel in Kühtai involves an ascent of around 800 meters. You will be rewarded with a magnificent view.
