Insider tips for sport climbing areas
There are a total of 174 sport climbing routes to choose from in the Tyrolean Oberland. We present the 5 best climbing areas:
- Fernergries - Kaunertal
The largest sport climbing area in the Kaunertal makes climbers' hearts beat faster. No fewer than 44 routes, divided into 2 sectors, offer the finest climbing fun in gneiss with a good grip and interspersed with iron oxide. The excellently secured routes are mainly in difficulty levels 3 to 5c and are therefore particularly suitable for beginners, slightly advanced climbers and even families. Additional plus: Located directly on the toll road, the approach takes just 5 minutes. - Climbing garden Pflanzgarten Nauders
Climbing enthusiasts will get their money's worth at the Pflanzgarten climbing garden in Nauders. The small area consists of 4 routes in difficulty levels 3, 4 and 5. The almost vertical wall has no overhangs, but offers large holds and is therefore also suitable for families. The area is particularly ideal on hot summer days, as the surrounding trees provide plenty of shade. However, you have to allow for a 1-hour climb. - Laimo - Kaunertal
The Laimo climbing garden in the Kaunertal is a dream for advanced and ambitious climbers. There are 3 sectors with 30 routes of the best rock quality - from short bouldering tours to 35-metre walls, everything is available. The tours in the stepped and rugged rock are in the 6b to 8c difficulty range and are therefore hardly suitable for beginners or families. Due to its eastern orientation, the area is also recommended on hot summer days. - Grünstein - Kaunertal
In the Grünstein sport climbing area, 8 routes await climbing aficionados in the magnificent scenery of the Kaunertal. The highly structured rock is interspersed with ledges and ledges and entices climbers with routes of 6th and 7th difficulty. However, the poor positioning of some of the bolts poses a considerable risk of injury. The area is particularly recommended in spring and fall due to its south-westerly exposure. - Sauerbrunn - Prutz
The perfect climbing area for families and experienced indoor climbers who want to take their first steps on rock. Located right next to the Sauerbrunn spring, there are 6 routes in difficulty levels 4 to 7. The holds are almost without exception artificial and have either been drilled or "fletched" into the rock. The wall is in the shade from midday and the playground is a welcome change for children who are tired of climbing.
