From the car park in Tulfes, the route first follows the road and later the meadows and pistes to the Tulfein Alm (2,035 m) or all the way up to the Glungezerhütte (2,610 m). The tour is rather moderately steep up to the Tulfein Alm. Here, too, you can take the last cable car to Halsmarter or to the Tulfein Alm and thus adapt your altitude metres. In good snow conditions, you can set off from the Karlskirche church in Volders - provided you start early and are in good physical condition, as there are more than 2,100 metres of altitude to conquer.
The ski tour to Rangger Köpfl (1,939 m) is one of the classic piste tours in the Innsbruck area. From Oberperfuss you ascend along the piste to Stiglreith and from there via the Rosskogelhütte to the summit. Alternatively, you can ascend from Stiglreith via the toboggan run to the Rosskogelhütte and from there reach the impressive summit cross via beautiful gentle slopes with magnificent views of the Inntal valley. You can also shorten the tour by taking the Peter-Anich cable car to Stiglreith.
Starting from the valley station along the piste up the steep slope, past the drag lift and you have your destination in sight. If you want to extend your tour, you can also continue to the Waldraster Jöchl.
A very popular ski tour leads from the valley station of the Muttereralm and Pfriemesköpfl cable cars in a rather moderate ascent to the Muttereralm. The piste tour leads from Mutters via the Muttereralm adventure restaurant to Pfriemesköpfl (1,801 m). Above the middle station, you can also turn right into the old drag lift route if visibility is good. It is also possible to ascend via the Götzner descent to the Muttereralm adventure restaurant and also to the Birgitzköpflhaus.
From the Axamer Lizum valley station, head left via the Olympia ladies' descent (piste no. 1) 800 metres up to the Hoadl (2,340 m). The ladies' descent is open to ski tourers from the end of the piste from 4 pm to 10 pm. If you don't want to go all the way up, go to the Sunnalm on piste no. 4 and stop off there. The Dohlennest is also open until 10 p.m.
The tour is very popular and actually quite easy, although it does include some steep and sometimes quite icy sections in the upper part.
"Guaranteed snow" is the unique selling point of the Bergeralm - even in warm winters, the lift operators manage to ensure a continuous snow cover. The ascent over the pistes is very steep in places, so pack your crampons. If you want, you can walk the last few metres in open terrain to the Nösslachjoch (2,231 m).
The route leads gently uphill over the pistes from Seefeld to the Rosshütte. Thanks to the various refreshment stops at the middle or mountain station, you can choose the altitude difference to suit your mood and individual fitness level. An extremely popular piste tour. The ascent is from the valley station via the Brandl piste (or forest ascent to the left of the valley station), forest path to the Hochegg-Alm, Murmelebau and to the Rosshütte (1,760 m). The descent is only possible via the family piste. The Rosshütte mountain restaurant is open and parking is permitted in the multi-storey car park (18:00-22:00).
There are various ascent options (including less steep ones) via the Patscher Alm to the Patscherkofel Schutzhaus (1,952 m) and, if you feel like it and the conditions are good, you can even walk up to the Patscherkofel Gipfelstube (2,248 m). The tour can be shortened by taking the last cable car to the Schutzhaus and then climbing up to the Gipfelstube in the evening sun. The "Kofel" restaurant at the mountain station is also open for night ski tourers. The Patscherkofel is also a popular tour destination, so don't forget your head torch and walk along the edge of the piste. Some sections of the piste are also quite steep and icy, so crampons can be useful here.
The Olympic downhill run is open as a night ski tour on Thursday until 22:00.
Every Thursday, you can climb around 530 metres in altitude from the car park in Hochpillberg right next to the red ski slope up to the Hecherhaus (1,887 m). The approximately one-hour ascent is rather steep at first, but becomes somewhat flatter in the upper section. The Hecherhaus is open until midnight on the evening of the tour.
Tuesday is the ski touring evening in Reith im Alpbachtal on the Reither Kogel (1,110 m). There are no lifts in operation, but the entire family descent no. 71 is floodlit exclusively for ski tourers.
