Association of Pitztal mountain guides

Association of Pitztal mountain guides

Your alpine experts in Pitztal!

The certified mountain and ski guides from Pitztal will help you plan your holiday in the breath-taking Pitztal mountains. The Pitztal, one of the most beautiful and wildest side valleys of the Eastern Alps, is perfect for mountaineers and hikers. With the surrounding more than 3,000m-high mountains including the Tyrol’s highest mountain, the Wildspitze with 3,774m,  we can offer all a mountaineer can possibly ask for: from glacier tours to alpine rock and ice climbing to mountaineering tours and sports climbing excursions. The hiking routes that circle our striking valley, offer breath-taking views of the high-alpine mountains and are also recommended. Embark on a journey of unforgettable moments!
