Bike and Hike Großer Galtenberg
One of the most beautiful lookout mountains into the surrounding Alps, this had already been recognized by the Munich doctor Dr. Julius Mayr in 1921 and described in his book "On Quiet Paths". From here you can easily see Großglockner, Großvenediger and all the other important mountains of the Central Alps.

At the very south of the Alpbach valley watches the Großer Galtenberg (2,424 meters), the highest elevation of the region. It is perfect for this combined bike & hike route that starts in the Greiter Graben near Inneralpbach. To the summit it is more than 1,300 meters of altitude gain – which is fully worth it. Because the view from above is phenomenal: the panorama chains the Zillertal and Stubai Alps, the Hohe Tauern, Kitzbühel green mountains as well as the peaks of the Karwendel. The ascent barely has technical difficulties, only shortly before the summit requires some blockwork surefootedness!
