The magic of ski touring in Sellraintal: An adventure in the Stubai Alps

The majestic Stubai Alps are not only a paradise for hikers, but also for ski touring lovers. One of the most impressive valleys in this region is the Sellraintal, which is known as a ski touring Eldorado.

A safe start to the adventure

Before setting off on a ski tour, it is crucial to find out about current avalanche conditions. On this tour, the avalanche danger level was 2, which means that there are rare danger spots and avalanches can only be triggered with a large additional load. This is particularly important when traveling in a group.

The climb: from gentle slopes to steep peaks

The journey begins comfortably by covering the first few meters uphill on a toboggan run. There are informative avalanche boards along the way that provide valuable information about the avalanche situation in the mountains. After a short rest it gets steeper and the crampons come into play. These special irons provide additional safety in icy conditions.

The reward: a breathtaking view

After a challenging climb you will be rewarded with a spectacular panorama. From the peaks of the Stubai Alps you have an impressive view of the Sellraintal, the Wetterstein massif and, when the weather is clear, even of the Zugspitze. The surrounding mountains such as the Axamer Lizum and the Patscherkofel are also visible, and the city of Innsbruck shines in the distance.

The descent: A rapid ride through the snow

The descent offers just as much fun and adrenaline as the climb. Despite initial fears that the snow would be too hard and icy, the descent offers surprisingly good conditions for a fast-paced adventure on skis.

Conclusion

The Sellraintal in the Stubai Alps offers an unforgettable ski touring experience. With the right preparation and equipment, you can fully enjoy the beauty and challenge of this impressive mountain landscape.
