Climbing in Kufsteinerland
Imperial climbing and mountaineering around the fortress town of Kufstein
Surrounded by the Zahmer and Wilder Kaiser mountains, Kufsteinerland, the region around the town of Kufstein in the Tyrolean lowlands, is considered the gateway to the Tyrolean Alps. In the breathtaking peaks of the Kaiser Mountains nature reserve, mountain lovers and climbing enthusiasts will get their money's worth on over 40 tours of all levels of difficulty. And that's not all: several climbing gardens and via ferratas, from family-friendly to challenging, interesting multi-pitch tours in the Sparchen climbing area, two climbing gyms and a climbing sculpture are waiting to be conquered by passionate climbers. A hike through the idyllic Kaisertal valley, which was voted the most beautiful place in Austria in 2016, is also worthwhile.
Need a break from the rocks? No problem! The leisure options are almost limitless in both summer and winter: great mountain bike routes, around 300 km of running and trail running routes, 6 crystal-clear natural lakes and 6 adventure swimming pools, canyoning, varied ski areas and cross-country ski routes in the Inn Valley and on high plateaus, premium winter hiking trails, toboggan runs and much more round off the activity program.
But Kufsteinerland doesn't just promise sporting highlights: Culture, culinary delights, health and customs are also very important here - the motto is varied, connecting, individual and self-confident.
