The “Kalkkögel”, situated in the immediate vicinity of the town, are often referred to as the “North Tyrolean Dolomites”, and their north-facing slopes and couloirs often retain perfect powder for a long time. Thanks to the lifts at Axamer Lizum, we only need to climb a few metres in altitude to enjoy the perfect downhill run. Depending on your motivation and ability, there’s something for everyone – from wide slopes to breathtakingly narrow couloirs. The perfect finishing touch is the descent into the Senderstal valley and a stop for refreshments at the cosy Kemater Alm.
Meeting point Car park Axamer Lizum, 08:30 Uhr
Freeride Plus at Kalkkögel - a powder paradise
The meeting point is at the car park at Axamer Lizum for the first lift. After an initial descent in the off-piste area of the ski resort to warm up and get to know the terrain, we’ll ascend with our skis on our backs along the ridge towards the Hochtennspitze. From there, there are numerous possible descent routes down into the Lizumer Kar with its couloirs. Your local mountain guide knows the terrain inside out and will find the best options. Short ascents on skins open up a number of gullies and couloirs that promise pure skiing enjoyment. Depending on your preferences, you can either climb more vertical metres or return to the ski resort more frequently. A particular highlight is the final descent into Senderstal. After a leisurely stop for refreshments at the Kemater Alm, you can return to the ski resort by bus. Tour ends at approx. 16:00
