Multi-pitch routes in the Tannheimer Tal
Classic in one of the most beautiful climbing areas
The Tannheimer Tal in the north of Tyrol is known for its peaks such as Gimpel, Hochwiesler and Rote Flüh with tours of all levels of difficulty and has some of the most beautiful via ferratas in Tyrol to offer. Numerous sport climbing routes and multi-pitch tours, 2 waterfalls for ice climbing and 1 high ropes course attract climbing enthusiasts to the "most beautiful high valley in Europe". And this has been the case for a very long time, as climbing has a long tradition here: several climbs were opened on the up to 200 m high south faces at the turn of the century and many of the old routes have now been renovated.
But the Tannheimer Tal also has a lot to offer away from the rocks: Sport, nature, tradition and enjoyment - a rich offer is guaranteed in any case.
Our 3 top tips for multi-pitch routes in the Tannheimer Tal
- Rote Flüh
The east ridge is of little importance for mountaineers, but is very popular with climbers. Even in winter. A large number of routes and variations intersect here and occasionally cause a little confusion. Overall, however, the Rote Flüh (2,108 m) is a worthwhile destination, preferably in midsummer. You can choose between Schafhöfle, Rote Flüh Südwand, Hochwiesler Südwand and Hochwiesler Ostsporn, each of which has several variants. - Gimpel
The 18 routes on the Gimpel (2,173 m) are very popular and frequently climbed. Although it is often quite busy here, it is a worthwhile destination: the area is easy to reach, the panorama is stunning and most of the routes are well secured. - Gimpel south-east stem
"You're never really at the top" and "Kuschelrock" - these are the multi-pitch routes on the Gimpel Südostvorbau. The route "Wirklich oben bis du nie" is the easternmost route on the stem. It is very homogeneous, mainly between 6 and 6+ - but also partly in the 5th degree of difficulty on relatively solid rock. The 160 m long route is secured with bolts and is considered one of the most beautiful in the Tannheimer Tal. To the left of it is the "Kuschelrock" route with difficulty grades 5c to 7b.
