Spectacular ice climbing route tips
Due to the high altitude, there are countless waterfalls in the Tyrolean Oberland and especially in the Kaunertal that are perfect for ice climbing in winter. The routes are consistently challenging due to their length. We present the 4 most spectacular ice climbing routes in the Tyrolean Oberland:
- Quarry
The waterfall can be reached after a 10-minute ascent and the climbing on the 220 m high icefall, which has a difficulty level of WI 6, is quite something. A rewarding challenge for ambitious ice climbers! - Fear of lust - Kaunertal
Demanding climbing on a free-hanging icicle. The climbing on the 130 m high icefall ranges in difficulty from 3 to 6. The route is particularly mentally demanding. Incidentally, the route was first climbed from below without bolts. - The yellow river - Kaunertal
Small but mighty! A relatively short route with an icefall height of 100 m in difficulty level WI 5, but it requires a lot of strength. - The Zwirn - Kaunertal
A challenging climb in difficulty level WI 6 on a 160 m high icefall. The descent is by abseiling on ice watches or bolts.
