Ski tour in Kühtai, to the Pirchkogel – 2828 m

The Pirchkogel is the parade destination for tourers in Kühtai – especially for those who prefer a leisurely and not too extreme ride, the Hochalterbahn can shorten about half of the ascent.

• The starting point is in Kühtai (2.017m) at the lift parking lot of the Hochalterbahn.
• The difference in altitude is 808 m
• and the walking time is about 2.5 hours.
• the requirements are rather easy

Tour description:

The ascent first follows the ski slope to the top station of the drag lift “Schwarzmoos” below the Pirchkogel. If you prefer a more comfortable ride, take the Hochalter chairlift to the top station and then cross west to the T-bar lift, or to the limnological research station of the University of Innsbruck, where the ascent begins. The steeper eastern slope above the ski area leads to the summit. The ascent is easy to recognize and offers no orientation problems. While the view to the south becomes more and more impressive during the ascent, the deep view of the Mieminger Plateau, the Wettersteingebirge and the Inn Valley is surprising once you reach the summit.

Departure:

The descent leads along the ascent route back to Kühtai.

Other tour variants are, for example, the Vorderer Grießkogel at 2,666 m, or the Grießkogelscharte at 2,586 m.
