There are two signposted ascents for ski touring in the Axamer Lizum. From the car park at an altitude of 1,560 metres, you can take either the women's or the men's run to the highest point in the ski resort. The 780m climb to the Hoadl can be done in about two hours if you are in good shape. After a snapshot at the summit cross at 2,340m, it's time to take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the magnificent views of the Kalkkögel.
Ready for a thrill?
The two signposted ascents via the men's and women's slopes can also be used at your own risk outside the ski season.
The slopes are not secured and are closed!

Safety in mountaineering and skiing is a central concern of the Tyrolean Sports Department and the Axamer Lizum. In order to raise awareness and improve safety on Tyrolean pistes, the Tyrolean government has produced a video on ski touring entitled "Safe & Fair".
Ski tourers are on the slopes at their own risk. The dangers of the Alps, especially the risk of avalanches, must be assessed by each individual. It is compulsory to carry emergency equipment! The ski slopes are primarily at the disposal of the users of the cable cars and lifts.
As part of the "Bergwelt Tirol - Miteinander Erleben" programme, the province of Tyrol is working with all interest groups to reduce conflicts between different sports and different users of nature.
