Pölven

Pölven is a mountain summit in the Kitzbüheler Alps with an elevation of about 1600 meters (5250 feet), positioned between the villages of Söll, Bad Häring, and Schwoich. From the top you can see across the Inn Valley and toward the surrounding mountain ridges.

Mountain paths around the area served as important trade routes connecting different regions of Austria for many centuries. These routes shaped how communities developed and traded with each other across the Alps.

The villages around the area show traditional Alpine life through seasonal events, local crafts, and regional music that you can experience during a visit. This way of living connects people to their mountain surroundings and heritage.

You can reach the summit by several marked hiking trails starting from different points in the nearby villages. The surrounding towns offer accommodation and equipment rental for your visit.

From this summit you can see both the Inn Valley and the northern slopes of the surrounding mountains in one panorama. This vantage point is particularly valued by visitors who want to understand how the local landscape is organized.
