Ski mountaineering in Tyrol, Austria
by Roberto Iacopelli, Mountain Guide
|
Innsbruck and the Brennero Italian border are separated by 36 kilometers which can be covered in little under 30 minutes. This rapid motorway journey crosses an seemingly small area, but as soon as you turn off the Europa Bridge the region immediately presents itself as a complex labyrinth of valleys and mountains.
This peculiarity renders the Tyrol one of the largest ski mountaineering areas in Europe. And the mountains themselves add the rest: the mid and low altitude slopes are never too steep and ideal for winter outings, while the grandiose high altitude faces are perfect for spring skiing trips. In short, a true godsend for ski touring! |

| Useful advice |
www.lawine.at is the reference site for the current snow conditions.
Before programming a trip, check out the weather forecast on www.zamg.ac.at.
Many carparks have parking meters. The cost varies from 2 - 3 euro/day and we highly recommend you take plenty of small change since the fines are expensive and the money is used to manage and improve the parking lots.
Enjoy!
