Naviser Kreuzjöchl, 2536 m

Diverse ski mountain in the heart of the Tux Alps The Navistal branches off from the Wipptal to the east halfway between Innsbruck and Brenner and can be reached very quickly from Innsbruck, a stronghold of ski tourers. No wonder that loneliness is unknown on the popular ski mountains there. The Naviser Kreuzjöchl is no exception, especially as it is also the central mountain on the south side of the valley. However, it has one major advantage over many other popular fashionable mountains: There are only a few touring peaks that offer as many different downhill options as the Naviser Kreuzjöchl. From its summit, you can ski down in all four directions, and there are even several routes to the north and west. With the exception of the steep, avalanche-prone southern descent into the Schmirntal valley, all descents end more or less close to the starting point. So with a little creativity, you can find quiet moments on this fashionable mountain and even after a few days of good weather, there is still untracked terrain for the descent. For the ascent, the vast majority of summit aspirants choose the ascent via the Naviser Hütte described here, which is more avalanche-safe than the route through the Weirichtal valley. In addition, the newly renovated mountain hut, which has been open again since the 2012/2013 season, offers the opportunity to stop for refreshments along the way.(Automatically translated by DeepL)
