The 5 most popular climbing areas in Innsbruck and the surrounding area
The region around Innsbruck offers the right outdoor climbing area for climbers of all skill levels. Here are 5 of the most popular sport climbing areas:
- Ehnbachklamm The large sport climbing area in the Ehnbachklamm gorge above Zirl promises climbing enjoyment at all levels of difficulty. The 104 routes, divided into several sectors, offer enough choice in the lower difficulty ranges for beginners, but also tricky tours for ambitious climbers.
- Martinswand The Eldorado for outdoor climbers par excellence: countless routes on the Martinswand provide climbing fun in a class of its own. Thanks to its south-facing orientation, you can even climb on dry winter days. From the historic Dschungelbuch climbing garden to the gallery, the Schleicherplatte and the Grottenwegwand - beginners and pros alike will be happy here.
- Hötting qu arry There is probably no sport climber in and around Innsbruck who has not visited the Hötting quarry at least once. Here you can climb on the reddish breccia rock. The central location and the large selection of routes of lower and medium difficulty ensure a high visitor density of outdoor climbers. The rock on the most popular routes is correspondingly polished and slippery.
- Telfs Arzbergklamm (Weiher) At the foot of the Hohe Munde is the Arzbergklamm sport climbing area, which is particularly suitable for beginners and slightly advanced climbers due to the large number of routes in difficulty levels 4 to 6. Despite its proximity to Telfs and the short approach, the area is not overcrowded and offers pleasant climbing in limestone on a total of 72 routes.
- Locherboden The small, excellently secured Locherboden sports climbing garden on the edge of the Mieminger plateau is just right for climbing beginners and families with its numerous routes in the 5th degree of difficulty. A short approach and a magnificent view over the Inntal valley ensure pure climbing enjoyment.
