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.

The ski tour to the Gaiskogel in the Kühtai-Sellraintal region offers an impressive alpine experience. The starting point is at the mountain station of the Drei-Seen cable car, which makes the first part of the ascent easier. From there, the route leads through a flat cirque before a steep ascent to the Gaiskogelscharte - good hairpin bend technique and fitness are required here.


After the saddle, the route continues on foot along a narrow ridge to the summit. This section is often overgrown and requires surefootedness. Once at the top, an impressive panorama with a real Western Alps feeling rewards the effort.
