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.
