Multi-pitch routes around Kufstein - a delight for enduring climbers
Kufsteinerland, the region around the town of Kufstein in the Tyrolean lowlands, is considered the gateway to the Tyrolean Alps. Climbers will find everything they could wish for here: over 40 tours through the breathtaking peaks of the Kaiser Mountains nature reserve, a variety of climbing gardens and via ferratas, multi-pitch routes in the Sparchen climbing area, a climbing sculpture and a climbing hall in Kufstein - the offer is impressive! And if you prefer a more leisurely pace, you can hike through the idyllic Kaisertal valley or take the Kaiserlift directly from Kufstein to the Kaiser mountains. Not in the mood for rocks? In summer and winter, the range of leisure activities away from the climbing routes is almost limitless: running and biking trails, several natural lakes, canyoning and stand-up paddling, top-class cultural events, culinary and traditional festivals and much more await visitors.
3 multi-pitch tips around Kufstein
- Sparchen climbing garden
This extremely challenging climbing area is a real must for every experienced Sport climbing enthusiast. The Sparchen climbing garden, located behind the Schotterwerk in Kufstein, is one of the historic climbing gardens in Tyrol and is one of the nuclei of Tyrolean sport climbing. Here you will find legendary routes such as "Tequila", the first 8a route in Tyrol, "Il piccolo orso", "Metallica" and "Zauberlehrling". The almost 200 m high wall with its extremely difficult routes is criss-crossed by 2 exposed multi-pitch routes. Both routes have a difficulty level of 8. Sparchen is ideal for climbing due to its shady and sheltered location, especially on very warm days, but also in the rain. - Climbing garden near Kaindlhütte
The north faces of the Scheffauer and Zettenkaiser offer a variety of climbing routes of varying degrees of difficulty, most of which are quite long at over 10 pitches. Below the Widauersteig, there are several 5-pitch alpine sport climbing routes. From Kufstein, you can take the Kaiserlift up to the Kaindlhütte in around 1 hour. As some of the routes are only sparsely secured, it is advisable to take sufficient safety equipment with you. - Multerkarwand
