Austria’s largest nature park, the Nature Park Karwendel, encompasses almost the entire Karwendel mountains. It is home to rare animal and plant species and an outdoor playground boasting fantastic rock formations. The climbing area around the Lamsenspitze (2,508m) is known far beyond the region. Climbers in the Karwendel can choose from both alpine and moderately difficult sport climbing routes. A special Karwendel treat for experts is certainly the Sonnjoch (2,458m): It is one of the longest multi-pitch routes in the Alps, offering a whopping 1,700 metres of climbing with only a 5-minute approach.
