Hiking

Easy to moderately difficult Tyrolean summit hikes

The most beautiful vantage points are at the top of the mountains. However, it is not just reserved for bold summiteers to enjoy this exhilarating experience. Many Tyrolean panoramic peaks also welcome leisure hikers. They are technically easy to tackle, do not demand high athletic performance and some are also suitable for families with children. However, surefootedness and a basic level of fitness are also required for easy summit hikes.
