Description

Added by Cat Ekkelboom-White

An easy hike for any time of year with stunning views of the Kalkkogel range at the end point.

Take the bus from Innsbruck to Grinzens or if you have a car, park in the village of Grinzens at the Sportplatz. From here already you can see signs to the Kemater Alm.

The route is really simple. Just follow the dirt road straight through the forest and deeper in to the valley. For the first half of the trail the route is a gradual incline. After about 3km you pass a sign on your right to Salfeins. Keep on the main road. It’s about another 30 minutes from this point but the road starts to twist and turn a bit steeper as you gain some more altitude.

As you come out above the tree line, keep on the main route which, after 1 final sharper bend, ends at the Kemater Alm with the stunning Kalkkogel mountains behind it.

The Kemater Alm serves hot and cold food and drinks so it’s a great place to stop and enjoy the stunning views.

In the winter time many people hike up with toboggans or on touring skis so that they way back (which is all downhill) is quicker.

Hike to Salfeins

The trail begins next to the Sportplatz in the village of Grinzens, just outside of Innsbruck. The trail begins as a gravel road, but within a few meters it splits. You can either take route 51 which follows the gravel road or route 52 which cuts through the forest. We chose to follow route 52 on the way up, as although much steeper, it is shorter in distance than following the gravel road. The...

Sport Climbing at Martinswand Innsbruck

The Martinswand is Innsbruck's legendary multi-pitch sport climbing wall. The route "Emmentaler" is the easiest of the multi-pitch routes on the Martinswand in the area called the "vorbau". The route is named after the cheese most likely due to the multi holes in the rock. The Approach: The approach is super short and easy. The closest parking for this route is the P3 area. Make sure to get th...

Hike up Hoadl at Axamer Lizum

If you are looking for somewhere to watch one of the best sunsets in Tirol, then Axamer Lizum might just be that place. Whilst this area is perhaps better known as being a ski resort in winter, it has some of the most picturesque hiking close to the city of Innsbruck, being at the foot of the Kalkkogel mountains, also known as the "Dolomites of Tirol". Because the mountain lifts only run for a ...

Ski at Schlick 2000

Schlick 2000 is hands down my favourite ski resort in the Innsbruck region. This small and modest resort is often overlooked by many tourists who head straight to the larger nearby Stubai Glacier at the end of the valley. But while Schlick 2000 might be small, not only is it usually quieter than many other resorts, but in my opinion, it's one of the most beautiful resorts in Tirol. With the b...

Hike To The Schlicker See In The Stubai Valley

In this circular hike starts at the Kreuzjoch top station of the Schlick 2000 gondola and finishes back at the bottom station, meaning that the elevation gain you're hiking is about half of the amount that you'll descend if you follow this particular route. As you exit the lift station, you'll take the panoramic trail to the Niederen Burgstall and continue upwards to the Schlicker Schartl. The...

Explore the Alpin Erlebnispark

A short walk from the top lift station of Schlick 2000 in the Stubai valley is the "Alpin Erlebnispark". This area is an amazing spot to train your mountain stills in some of the most beautiful scenery in the Stubai valley. Reaching the area is easy. From the lift exit, keep walking straight and follow the small hikers path up towards the Kreuzjoch summit cross. You'll see yellow signs towards ...
