Kellerjoch, Mountain summit in Schwaz, Austria
Kellerjoch is a mountain summit in the Tux Alps that rises to 2,344 meters and features both forested slopes and open alpine meadows. Trails wind across the mountain at different elevations, connecting various points on the terrain.
The mountain became a winter sports destination during the mid-20th century when the first cable car system was installed to bring visitors up the slope. This development opened the area to tourism and changed how people used the mountain.
At the huts scattered across the slopes, people gather to eat regional dishes prepared using traditional recipes passed down through generations. The grazing patterns and mountain farming visible on the slopes have shaped the landscape into its current form.
A cable car system transports visitors from the base to the upper elevation, making access straightforward and avoiding a long climb. Once at the top, marked trails allow people to walk and explore the area at their own pace.
A sled run descends from the summit for about four kilometers through different types of terrain and forest. This ride from top to bottom offers an unexpected adventure that many visitors overlook when planning their visit.
