For Those Who Want to Reach New Heights
Difficult Hikes in Tyrol | Region Seefeld
Difficult hikes in Tyrol are ideal for experienced mountaineers who want to go higher. In Tirols Hochplateau, you’ll encounter demanding routes with longer walking times, significant elevation gain, and complex terrain – perfect for those with endurance, technique, and experience. In Scharnitz, the Karwendel mountain range opens the gates to Austria’s largest nature park. Here, the Karwendel Höhenweg runs, one of the most famous mountain tours in the region – difficult, multi-day, and full of alpine highlights. In Leutasch, the Hohe Munde, the Wetterstein mountains, and the Gaistal also offer real challenges for you.
Important Information:
- Challenging tours require surefootedness, a head for heights, and very good physical fitness; often with rope-secured sections and easy climbing passages.
- If unsure or new to more demanding tours, consider hiring a certified mountain guide.
- Refreshment stops with current opening times are linked in each tour; a complete overview of all alpine pastures & huts (including a filter for open huts) is also available online.
- Use the filters to find routes by category, length, elevation gain, and location.
- Follow the rules of conduct and check current trail closures online.
- Guest card = free use of regional buses, the Seefeld–Scharnitz train, and the Wildmoos bus (available from your accommodation provider).
