You can experience real ‘mountain life’ from an authentic mountain hut. No lifts or crowded slopes around you, but tranquility and a wide choice of pristine terrain and challenging peaks. The Sellrain Mountains are located south of Innsbruck, between the Ötztal and the Stubaital. Located in the province of Tyrol and the main Alpine ridge. We climb and descend between 2,000 and 3,300 meters in a snow-sure area, known for its endless freeride and ski touring opportunities. As we stay above 2000 meters, the conditions here are ideal for ski touring or split boarding in March.
Tour ski and Splitboard Hut tour for advanced
This hut tour is suitable for experienced tour skiers or splitboarders and consists of 6 tour days. From Axamer Lizum we tour along five well-maintained and cozy mountain huts. The guide pays attention to technique, both on the way up and down. Every evening we look back on the day and the journey we made. The route is planned for the next day based on the level and wishes of the group.
“After an extremely careful decision-making process, my ‘tour ski group of friends’ chose the Sellrain group in season 17/18. A few words from the plan specially forged by Gijs-Jan: local Innsbruckers, rugged mountains, beautiful terrain, many alternate descents.” Read more…
What are you going to do
Travel to Axamer Lizum
We meet at the beginning of the evening in the Axamer Lizum, a small ski area south of Innsbruck. We check in at a hotel in the drop, have dinner together, discuss the program for the coming week and pack our backpacks.

We take the first lift up and go freeriding for a morning in the area of Axamer Lizum. After lunch we descend from the Hoald to the Kemateralm. From here we tour to the Angerbergkopf and ski/board into the Fotschertal. From here it is a short climb to the Potsdamer Hütte.
