Hours traversing the SonnbergThose who want to admire the Sellrain high valleys – the Kraspes and Gleirsch valleys, Lüsens, and the Fotsch – along with their mountain backdrop from an ideal perspective should choose the high route on the opposite sunny slope. Benches invite you to enjoy the panoramic views repeatedly, but one should not forget that the entire route is a full day hike and not a promenade for leisurely strollers.

Viewpoint Mountain above KühtaiThe Pirchkogel stands quite broad and expansive between the Inn Valley and Kühtai, where an alpine hotel destination has grown from the former alpine pasture area due to the booming ski tourism. The landscape may have suffered from this, yet it still attracts excursionists and hikers to Kühtai in summer. The Pirchkogel is definitely a worthwhile destination because of its extensive views. To the north, the limestone bastions of the Mieming Chain, the Lechtal Alps, and the Karwendel are presented, while in the south the central alpine bedrock predominates.

To the main summit of the Northern Sellrain MountainsThe Rietzer Grieskogel is the highest peak in the mountain group between the Inntal Valley and Kühtaier Straße. As it is well integrated into the alpine trail network, a climb is recommended for sure-footed hikers. The view of both the Northern Limestone Alps and the Stubai Alps to the south is simply fantastic, especially as it is characterized by stark contrasts! On the north side, the Peter-Anich-Hütte is also a nice little accommodation, which just above the tree line also occupies a box seat above the central Inn Valley. While the more ambitious can reach the summit, connoisseurs and families with children prefer to linger in the lovely alpine pastures.
