Bike and Hike Großer Galtenberg
One of the most beautiful viewing mountains into the surrounding Alps, as already 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 other important mountains of the Central Alps.
At the very south of the Alpbach valley stands the Großer Galtenberg (2,424 meters), the highest peak of the region. It is perfect for this combined bike & hike route, which starts in Greiter Graben near Inneralpbach. To the summit it is more than 1,300 meters of ascent – which is fully worth it. Because the view from above is phenomenal: the panorama lines up the Zillertal and Stubai Alps, the Hohe Tauern, Kitzbühel grass mountains, as well as the peaks of the Karwendel. The ascent involves almost no technical difficulties, only shortly before the summit some block terrain requires surefootedness!
