This handy guidebook describes two great treks in the Zillertal Alps in the Austrian Tyrol, both taking less than 10 days to complete, visiting superb huts and following well-maintained and marked trails. This is a perfect area for experienced trekkers and the Zillertal Rucksack Route - or Berliner Hoehen Weg - avoids all difficult passes and glacier crossings to make an ideal first-time hut-to-hut walking route. This route traverses the range as a continuous tour described clearly in recommended stages, illustrated with profiles and sketch maps as well as annotated photographs for extra clarification, with lots of day excursions from the huts to neighbouring peaks on both the Italian and Austrian sides of the border. The more challenging South Tyrol Tour crosses the Zillertal Alps along the Austro-Italian border and links back to the Rucksack Route to make another two-week circular tour, again with lots of excursions. This guidebook includes detailed descriptions of the trail, clear maps and inspiring photography, as well as information on huts and practical details to the area, written by a highly experienced afficionado of the Austrian Alps.
Zusammenfassung
This guidebook describes two popular hut-to-hut treks in Austria's Zillertal Alps. Both take eight to ten days to complete, with the option to add in day excursions from the huts to climb local peaks on both sides of the border, including the Zillertal's highest summit, the Hochfeiler. The Zillertal Rucksack Route, or Berliner Hoehen Weg, links eight huts without crossing glaciers or difficult passes. It starts above Mayrhofen and follows a circular route ending high above the charming village of Ginzling. The length of this tour is 70-80km, depending on your exact start and finish points, and ascends some 6700m. The Zillertal South Tyrol Tour traverses the whole range along the Austro-Italian border, starting at Turistenraste then linking back to the Rucksack Route to make a circular tour. Overall it is about 55km long and ascends just over 5000m (not including any additional peaks.) It is a physically demanding trek, providing an excellent challenge to more experienced alpine walkers who wish to undertake a tour that is remote and challenging.
