The routes

The Figerhorn is a beautiful ski mountaineering tour. South facing and with only 900m vertical height gain, it is ideal for beginners.

This is definitely the most frequented winter trip in the upper Obernbergtal. Constantly tracked in all conditions and in all weather it resembles a ski mountaineering motorway. So much attention is definitely deserved as it is a short but great...

From Kolm Saigurn 1598m follow the forest track that leads to the hotel, but immediately after the village cross the river on the left-hand side of the valley and, when close to the bus stop, head for the obvious Hocharn...

Hochgasser is one of the most beautiful ski tours in the Hohen Tauern. Guaranteed snow conditions due to its geographical location and the ease of access via the Felbertauernstraße ensure that this is a classic outing all season long. Nevertheless...

From the Naturfreundehaus at Kolm Saigurn 1598 m ascend south and, shortly after the first slope, turn right past some ruins to the Ochsenkarkees glacier which leads to the Hoher Sonnblick summit at 3106m. The Zittel Haus is located on...

This is definitely the most classic trip in the area of the Westfalenhaus refuge. As soon as the conditions allow you to rise above 3000 metres of altitude, a track will appear along the Langental which will lead you to...

Beautiful "bonus ski-tour which, thanks to the ski lift, offers 870m vertical height gain and a massive 1525m descent. In safe conditions the second descent variation is fantastic but only recommended for expert skiers.

With Morgenkogel we enter the mountains of Innsbruck’s skiers. Among the various classical itineraries within the city’s surroundings this is one of the closest. Reachable in just over fifteen minutes from the centre, this itinerary together with the nearby Kreuzspitze,...

Tribulaun of Obernberg is one of the pearls in this area. You can look on dozens of Austrian ski mountaineering guide books but there will be no trace of a report of this itinerary. Nonetheless, it is well known locally...

With Roter Kogel we are dealing with the longest winter ascent of the area and not only in terms of vertical height gain, but also in terms of length. This is a safe trip which can be undertaken even after...

From Naturfreundehaus ascend to nearby Ammerhof 1628m by returning along the road from Kolm Saigurn 1598 m (10 min). Take the summer path n° 24/25 from here through the wood to the starting slopes of the Seekopf Kolmkar Spitze 2226...

The climb up to Wildspitze, the highest mountain in Tyrol and the second highest in Austria, is a great choice at the start of winter when there’s little snow at lower altitudes. Much of the ascent is done using the Pitztaler...
