At the Scharnitzer Gleirschklamm, you don't have to fear long entrance lines or automatic turnstiles like at the Partnachklamm. Perhaps this is also because you have about an hour's approach time to this free gorge tour.

A short, little-frequented route in the shadow of the striking Arnspitzen. Thanks to half-hourly connections from Innsbruck to Gießenbach or Leutasch, this is a perfect public transport route.
