INNSBRUCK AIR TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Above the Zugspitze: A Close-Call Air Tour from Innsbruck
A roughly 75-minute air tour that flies as close as possible to Germany’s highest peak, the Zugspitze, with practical planning and packing details for travelers.
Above the Zugspitze: A Close-Call Air Tour from Innsbruck.
From the general aviation gate at Innsbruck Airport you climb into alpine air for an intimate, low-altitude approach toward the Zugspitze (2,964 m), Germany’s loftiest summit. The flight compresses the Alps’ scale into a single, breath-stealing arc: glacier-topped ridges, serrated arêtes and sweeping valley floors that pass beneath the wings as you close to the mountain’s flanks.
