Kellerjoch Summit Chapel
Attraction
High above the Inn Valley sits the Kellerjoch Chapel with its incomparable panorama – the most beautiful place in Tyrol in 2025.
A place steeped in history and splendour – and now also silver: 9 Places – 9 Treasures has awarded the Kellerjoch Chapel in the Silberregion Karwendel silver in 2025, making it the second most beautiful place in Austria.
The Kellerjoch Chapel (2,344 m) is the highest chapel in Tyrol, one of the highest summit chapels in Europe and the landmark of the Kellerjoch – above Schwaz. It stands on the summit ridge between the Tux Alps and the Karwendel and offers a unique 360° mountain panorama.
The ascent to the chapel is only suitable for sure-footed mountain hikers with a head for heights. Those who reach the summit are rewarded with an impressive view of the Inn Valley, the Karwendel, the Zillertal Alps and far into the Central Alps.
Route information:
The classic ascent is via the Kellerjochbahn cable car to the mountain station or Hecherhaus, then via the Arbeser Kogel and the Naunzstand to the Kellerjochhütte and finally to the chapel. The final section requires alpine experience.
