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 Pirchkogel (2,828 m) is one of the most popular ski touring destinations in the region, offering a short but rewarding route with breathtaking views. The ascent starts at the Kaiserbahn mountain station and leads over Schwarzmoos, past the Hinterer Grießkogel and the picturesque Gössenköllesee, up to the summit. With a distance of just 1.9 kilometers and 400 meters of elevation gain, this tour is an excellent choice for those looking for a compact yet impressive ski touring experience. The stunning panoramic views from the summit make the ascent particularly worthwhile.
