Wattentaler Lizum

It belongs to the Austrian Armed Forces and puts up to 40,000 soldiers each year through military Alpine training.

The Wattentaler Lizum is a base for walks and ski tours in the relatively gently, but sometimes avalanche-prone slopes in the surrounding ring of mountains.

The area is highly suitable for professional Alpine training all year round due to its numerous descents (depending on the snow conditions) and summits as well as the infrastructure, both civil and military).

On firing days, hikers must have passed the check points by 8:45 am and left the out-of-bounds area.

On this day Lizum Training Area is opened to private cars with a Tyrolean number plate (only four-wheeled vehicles, no quads) at 10:30.
