The Brenner Mountains surrounding the Wipptal valley and its side valleys offer the perfect ski touring experience in mid winter and are easily accessible from the city of Innsbruck. Besides the classic routes in Navis and the challenging descents in the Schmirntal valley, there are also plenty of hidden little spots that are ideal after fresh snowfall. Depending on the conditions, your guide will choose the best destination, and there’s a good chance of powder snow!
Meeting point Matrei am Brenner, 09:00
Powder Dreams in the Wipptal
Depending on the season and conditions, we meet in the morning in Matrei am Brenner or, by arrangement, in Innsbruck, and organise car-sharing to our destination. Your guide will select a specific destination in the Wipptal or surrounding valleys, depending on the conditions. This includes a choice of hidden run options on classic runs such as the ‘Naviser Kreuzjöchel’ or the ‘Hohe Warte’, as well as lesser-known destinations in the Obernberg Valley. Thanks to our guides’ local knowledge, the chances of finding powder snow are particularly high! Tour ends at approx. 15:00
