Ski touring recommendations

This page will give you some ideas for ski tours in the region of Innsbruck. A great way to get a wonderful insight into the wonders of winter, especially under good conditions. These are, of course, only suggestions, as the final responsibility lies with the tourer to inform him or herself about current conditions before setting out.

Ski touring is a sport in which the risks should never be underestimated. We cannot accept any responsibility for snow conditions, avalanche risks and other outside influences. Every ski tourer is responsible for their own adequate avalanche protection and should check all current conditions with Tyrol's Avalanche Warning Service.

Start at the lift car park in Oberperfuss (fees apply). Tour up to the left of the piste until you reach the Egghof and then continue on the edge of the piste for a short distance to Stiglreith. When you get to the toboggan run above Stiglreith, you can turn left off the piste and follow a very picturesque route through the forest and past the reservoir to just below the Rosskogelhütte mountain hut. This route crosses the toboggan run several times until the last short section when it runs along the edge of the toboggan run. At the last bend before the Rosskogelhütte mountain hut, take the track that leads towards the Krimpenbachalm, past the mountain huts and up the south-facing slope to the summit cross. Alternatively, you can tour up the edge of the piste from Rosskogelhütte to the summit cross. Wonderful panoramic views. For ambitious ski tourers, it is possible to continue the tour up the nearby Windegg. (It is then very important to be aware of the avalanche danger). This ski tour is well-suited to beginners. The first section from the bottom lift station to Stiglreith can be done on the gondola.

Axams – Axamer Kögele

1170 M 1.170 M
medium medium
The route from Axams to Axamer Kögele is a popular and challenging on-piste ski tour. The tour starts at the southern end of Axams. Shortly before the turnoff for Axamer Lizum ski resort, you will come to a few paid  parking spaces on Kögelestraße road near the Sonnenlift Axams drag lift. From there, the tour starts over wide meadows before coming to the start of the actual ski route. From this point, the tour leads steadily uphill on the Axamer Abfahrt ski route between two wooded areas. At the beginning, there are two very steep sections (often icy in late winter/spring) to overcome and then the terrain flattens out a bit in the middle section. From the upper treeline, the route leads up two more steep slopes before reaching the destination, the Axamer Kögele.  Descent: on the off-piste Axamer Abfahrt ski route that leads down into the valley WARNING! Please note the avalanche danger levels! For tours in off-piste terrain, it is essential to have appropriate equipment, local knowledge and experience of assessing hazards such as avalanche danger, etc. The tourist office assumes no liability for tour suggestions.

The route becomes wider after crossing the toboggan run, and after a short, steep section, you'll reach a path through the forest. The subsequent path is easy to climb to Birgitzer Alm, and Birgitzköpfl is at the end of the tree-free slopes. To get to Birgitzköpflhaus, keep left befopre the peak and follow the ski path along the saddle. You'll reach Birgitzköpflhaus roughly 20 minutes after conquering the steep terrain from Birgitzköpfl. To go back down, follow the same route before hitting the final third of the toboggan run.
