The INNTALER HÖHENWEG TRAIL

The “Inntaler Höhenweg 2000” is a 6-day high alpine trek that follows the 2,000 m contour line eastwards high above the Inntal Valley, from the Patscherkofel to the Kellerjoch and vice versa. The trail is located at altitudes between 1,800 and 2,800 m and leads through the largely unspoiled, secluded mountains of the Tux Alps.

From Innsbruck/Igls it traverses the Patscherkofel on the Stone Pine Path (Zirbenweg ) to the Glungezer Hütte alpine hut (2,610 m), and along the “Glungezer & Geier” ridge route across the seven Tuxer summits to Lizumer Hütte alpine hut (2,019 m). From here it follows central alpine route 02A over the Grafennsjoch to Weidener Hütte alpine hut, from there over the Nurpensjoch to Rastkogel Hütte alpine hut (2,117 m), to Hochfügen and over the Loassattel to Kellerjoch Hütte alpine hut, before descending to Schwaz.

The “Inntaler” trail runs through the conservation area that encompasses Patscherkofel, Zirmberg and Viggartal Valley, above the Blue Lakes, skirting the Voldertal, Navistal, Wattental, Nafingtal, Nurpenstal, Sidantal and Finsinggrund valleys. The Patscherkofel and the high-altitude chain that continues eastward to the Glungezer afford beautiful views across the Inntal Valley to the Northern Chain and the Karwendel mountains, and as far as the Central Alps to the south. The middle section of the route between Navis Jöchl and Grafennsjoch provides excellent views of the Zillertal valleys. From Kellerjoch the panoramas stretch out towards Innsbruck, the Zillertal Valley and the Karwendel mountains. Wonderful flora and fauna are constant companions on the route.

Access via the Patscherkofel mountain railway or climb via “Heiligwasser”. Starting from Patscherkofel Haus alpine hut (1,970 m) or from the summit of the Patscherkofel (2,246 m), follow the Stone Pine Path (Zirbenweg) before bearing right onto the path up towards Glungezer Hütte alpine hut (2,610 m), the excellent trekking and ski hut located at the gateway to the Tux Alps.

14 km, 7-9 hours, red, (1 section black; red option via Tulfeinjöchl - Navis Jöchl); +750m in altitude/-1350 in altitude
The Tyrolean "Eagle Walk" refers to this stage as a seemingly endless series of peaks, which takes hikers from the Glungezer along a mostly flat but marked to the south across the seven TuXer summits, and over the highest point of the route at the Wattentaler Lizumat (2,796 m). A few passages require some light rock climbing. Route: Glungezer – Gamslahner – Kreuzjöchl – Kreuzspitze – Rosenjoch – Grünbergspitze – Grafmartspitze – Navis Jöchl – Mölsjoch - Schoberspitze – Mölser Sonnenspitze - Klammjoch – Lizumer Hütte alpine hut (2,019 m), the excellent trekking and ski touring hut in the heart of the Tux Alps, and in the middle of Lizum army training centre.

11 km, 6 hours, red; +430 m/-650 m
From Lizumer Hütte alpine hut, follow Central Alpine Route 02A. The route passes the Soldatenkirche (Soldiers’ Church), cutting through ancient pine forests below Torspitze, Eiskarspitze and Hippold, before leading up to Grafennsjoch.

Stage 4
Weidener Hütte alpine hut – Rastkogel – Rastkogel Hütte alpine hut
11 km, 6 hours, red; +960 m/-645 m

The descent follows a green ridge, past two small lakes to Sidanjoch (2,127 m) and to family-friendly Rastkogel Hütte alpine hut (2,124 m).

From here you can either take the 311 high trail (Hochebenweg) via Naunzalm directly to the alpine hut or continue along trail 316 on the “Kuhmesser” with spectacular views over Innsbruck and the Zillertal Valley. The route then takes you below the summit to Kellerjoch Hütte alpine hut (2,237 m), an award-winning hiking hut in the Karwendel Silver Region located high above the Inntal and Zillertal valleys.

Stage 6
Kellerjoch Hütte alpine hut – Schwaz
6 km (to Grafenast), 2 hours, gentle; -900 m (-1,700 m to Schwaz)
It is worth taking a short detour to the Kellerjoch (2,344 m) with its pristine chapel and stunning views of the Karwendel mountains.
