Top 4 family hikes

Outstanding experience

Four of our hikes are ideal for exploring the Gartnerkofel and its neighboring peaks in all their diversity and beauty. One of them is up to the eponymous summit of the Gartnerkofel. Another leads to the "little sister" - the Kammleiten. You have a view of the entire Gartnerkofel massif from the crown (Italian: Monte Corona). The Gartnerkofel circuit is long, varied and impressive.

Mountain, via ferrata & climbing tours

For mountain enthusiasts

The Gartnerkofel offers attractive opportunities for mountain enthusiasts and those who want to become one with the expert guidance of a mountain guide. The practice climbing crag near the Watschiger Alm is ideal for beginners. Those who already have experience with via ferratas will be equally impressed and challenged by the Däumling via ferrata. If an alpine mountain tour with unsecured climbing appeals to you, try the Gartnerkofel west ridge.
