Description

At the very south of the Alpbach valley watches the Großer Galtenberg (2,424 meters), the highest elevation of the region. It is perfect for this combined bike & hike route that starts in the Greiter Graben near Inneralpbach. To the summit it is more than 1,300 meters of altitude gain – which is fully worth it. Because the view from above is phenomenal: the panorama chains the Zillertal and Stubai Alps, the Hohe Tauern, Kitzbühel green mountains as well as the peaks of the Karwendel. The ascent barely has technical difficulties, only shortly before the summit requires some blockwork surefootedness!
