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.

From the parking lot, follow the forest road partly inwards until you reach the Fernerboden just before the end of the valley. Here follow the signs in the direction of the mighty "wall" to the left of the path. Passing alder scrub, the path goes partly secured uphill into the wall. At about 2,200 meters you cross a bridge that leads over the meltwater stream of the Lüsener Ferner. Continue on the path in an easterly direction up to a moraine. Follow the moraine to the end of the trail at the beginning of the large glacier basin of the Lüsener Fern. Continue along the edge of the glacier to the west to the "Plattigen Wand". Here a bit of laborious work up through rubble to an embrasure. From here you descend a few meters to the north before you reach the glacier basin of the Rotgratferner. Over these crevasses you reach the lowest point between Rotgratspitze and Fernerkogel at about 3,200 meters. Over the block ridge it goes up to the highest point with a beautiful cross. On particularly good days, the distant view reaches from Munich over the Karwendel to the Wilder Kaiser, further to the Großglockner, the Dolomites to the highest mountains of the Stubai and Ötztal Alps, the Zugspitze and much more.
