Description

The Seven Summits Stubai tour is not only about altitude, but also about what these mountains mean to people. Seven summits that leave an impression, tell a story or saliently shape the landscape, were selected by our hiking and mountain guides as well as by mountain lovers and are to allow visitors of the Stubaital an experience of the joy of mountains.

The Zuckerhütl (3,507 m) with its all-season, white snowy hood, the varied Wilde Freiger (3,418 m), the Habicht (3,277 m) that was long suspected to be Tyrol’s highest mountain, the Rinnenspitze (3,003 m), the Stubai’s three-thousand metre summit that can be most easily conquered, the Serles (2,717 m), called “Tyrol’s high altar” by Goethe, the easy, but thanks to its panoramic views particularly worthwhile Burgstall (2,611 m) and the Elfer (2,505 m), Neustift’s “house mountain”.

This is an Open Course FKT: Find your own way to connect the 7 summits as fast as possible. Choose your own Start point (End point must be the same as the Start point). Between the mountains only running is allowed, no cars, bikes,...

Attention!!! The route involves a lot of technical high alpine terrain and glacier crossings. Ice Axe, crampons and ropes might be necessary to navigate over the glacier/crevasses. Be sure to check the route upfront with a local or a guide.
