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.

This popular ski tour in Kühtai starts at the Längental reservoir and runs steadily uphill - mostly along a small stream - through the impressive Mittertal valley. Surrounded by striking peaks, the route leads through a tranquil winter landscape, which often attracts visitors with the best powder snow until well into spring, especially in the upper section. The final ascent over steep slopes up to the deeply incised saddle requires fitness and confident ski touring skills. A rewarding tour for all those who appreciate views and a sporting challenge.
