Ideally, you should choose the rope length to match the high alpine tour you are planning. If this is not possible because you do not have a repertoire of different types of rope in your closet, then the standard rope length for high alpine tours is 50 meters. To reduce weight, we recommend a thin, 9 mm single rope with impregnation. The ideal rope length also depends on the size of the rope team. Specialist mountain literature sometimes recommends shorter ropes for alpine tours with a length of only 30 meters. Either way: Ötztal in Tirol not only offers a variety of high alpine tours (including North Tirol's highest mountain), but also state certified mountain guides and expert sport shops that will give you competent advice on buying the right rope.
