Imperial climbing and Mountaineering around the fortified town of Kufstein
Set against the backdrop of the Zahmer and Wilder Kaiser mountains, the Kufsteinerland – the region surrounding the town of Kufstein in the Tirol lowlands – is regarded as the gateway to the Tirolean Alps. In the breathtaking mountain landscape of the Kaiser Mountains Nature Reserve, mountain lovers and climbing enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy on over 40 routes of all Levels of Difficulty. And that’s not all: several Rock Climbing Areas and Via Ferrata/Iron Ways – ranging from family friendly to challenging – interesting multi-pitch routes in the Sparchen climbing area, two indoor climbing centres and a climbing sculpture are all waiting to be conquered by passionate climbers. Also well worth a visit is a hike through the idyllic Kaisertal valley, which was voted Austria’s most beautiful place in 2016.
Fancy a break from the rocks? No problem! The range of leisure activities is virtually limitless in both summer and winter: fantastic mountain bike routes, around 300 km of running and trail running trails, 6 crystal-clear natural lakes and 6 adventure swimming pools, canyoning, diverse Ski Resorts and cross-country skiing trails in the Inn Valley and on high plateaus, premium Winter Walking Trails, toboggan runs and much more round off the programme of activities.
But the Kufsteinerland offers more than just sporting highlights: culture, Culinary Experience, health and local traditions are also a top priority here – variety, community, individuality and self-confidence are the watchwords.
