Outdoor region Imst
Enjoy the vertical all year round
The climbing offer in the outdoor region Imst in the Tyrolean Oberland is varied and unique. With more than 3,000 routes of all levels of difficulty, one of the highest climbing halls in Austria and the Steinblock bouldering hall built in 2017, the area in the Tyrolean Oberland is one of the top spots on the scene.
In recent years in particular, the outdoor region of Imst has upgraded and renovated its climbing areas many times over and now boasts perfectly equipped climbing routes for beginners, hobby climbers and professionals.
The perfectly renovated Rote Wand in Karres, which has been upgraded to an exemplary showcase climbing garden, offers rock climbing par excellence even in winter thanks to its exposed, sunny location.
The favorite routes of local four-time world champion Angy Eiter are located in the Muttekopf rest area. Here climbers will find an almost endless number of routes for beginners and experts.
Don't fancy the long descent along the hiking trail? The Alpine Coaster takes you back down to the valley at high speed and full of bends.
In rainy weather, there are four climbing gyms in the region, which then become a meeting point for fans of vertical climbing.

6 climbing tips around the outdoor region Imst

- Follow in the footsteps of Angy Eiter in the area around the Muttekopfhütte - the region is one of the Tyrolean climbing talent's favorite climbing areas. On hot days, the waterfall via ferrata (B/C) is a cool tip; the south-facing Imster via ferrata (D) offers thrills in an alpine setting. Multi-pitch enjoyment can be found on the Mutte towers - and the culinary reward after a day of climbing can be found in the Muttekopfhütte.
- Alpine flair on the Hahntennjoch: ideal after a rainy period. However, only experienced climbers should go climbing here.
- The perfect family area: the Walchenbach climbing garden in Tarrenz with its well-secured routes is explicitly aimed at families with children and climbing beginners. The short approach and a comfortable picnic area ensure a perfect day on the rocks.
- The motto in the Reithle bouldering area in Imst, which is steeped in history and was one of the first developed climbing areas in the region, is to get to grips with the boulders. The rocks scattered throughout the forest also offer plenty of potential for new development. Alpine ambience can be enjoyed in the Hualig Almeck area, around ten minutes' walk from the middle station of the Imst cable cars. Here you can let off steam on the perfect high mountain limestone.
- The Sonnendeck climbing tower in Imst makes every climber's heart beat faster in Tyrol - even in bad weather.
