Part 2 of the Munich — Venice hiking tri­lo­gy: From Zil­ler­tal to Cor­ti­na with CHARME

from 2.078,- per person

This is the second sec­tion of our Munich-Venice hiking tri­lo­gy, an impres­si­ve Alpi­ne crossing from the green val­leys of the Zil­ler­tal across the main Alpi­ne ridge to the spec­ta­cu­lar Dolo­mi­tes around Cor­ti­na dAm­pez­zo. You start in the idyl­lic vaca­ti­on regi­on of Fügen and enjoy magni­fi­cent pan­o­r­amic views of the Zil­ler­tal, Kar­wen­del and Rofan moun­ta­ins. Explo­re alpi­ne moun­tain land­scapes, pris­ti­ne alpi­ne pas­tu­res and crys­tal-clear moun­tain lakes on well-mark­ed hiking trails. High­lights include the crossing of the main Alpi­ne ridge on the Pfit­scher­joch, the wild and roman­tic natu­re reser­ves of the Fanes-Sen­nes-Prags Natu­re Park and the breath­ta­king pan­o­r­amic views of the Dolo­mi­tes around the Pra­to Piaz­za. At the end, ele­gant Cor­ti­na awaits you with its uni­que moun­tain back­drop. This tour com­bi­nes enjoy­ment of natu­re, cul­tu­re and alpi­ne adven­ture to crea­te an unfor­gettable expe­ri­ence. In the evening, relax in our CHARME hotels, all of which have that cer­tain some­thing. Be it a beau­tiful well­ness area, superb cui­sine or some­thing else special. 

Itinerary / Stages

Day 1
Indi­vi­du­al arri­val in Fügen
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Wel­co­me to the Zil­ler­tal. You can alre­a­dy enjoy won­derful views of the sur­roun­ding mountains. 
Day 2
Fügen — Spiel­joch — Hochfügen
Distanz: 14 km Höhe (+): 350m Höhe (-): 740m
After break­fast, walk from your accom­mo­da­ti­on in Fügen, also known as the first vaca­ti­on regi­on in the Zil­ler­tal, to the Spiel­joch cable car. The gon­do­la takes you effort­less­ly up to the Spiel­joch at an alti­tu­de of almost 1,850 m and you can enjoy a fan­ta­stic pan­o­r­amic view of the moun­ta­ins of the Zil­ler­tal, Kar­wen­del and Rofan moun­ta­ins and even as far as the Kitz­bü­hel Alps and the Kai­ser Moun­ta­ins. A won­derful trail bet­ween moun­tain pines, alpi­ne roses, Swiss stone pine trees and gra­ni­te stones takes you via the Gart Alm (we recom­mend Kai­ser­schmar­ren) to the Loas­sat­tel and final­ly on to the Alpen­gast­haus Loas. After a rest and refresh­ment stop, the rou­te takes you com­for­ta­b­ly along a part­ly shady hiking trail to Hoch­fü­gen, today’s stage desti­na­ti­on and well-known win­ter sports destination. 
Day 3
Hoch­fü­gen — Melch­bo­den — Mayrhofen/Aschau
Distanz: 11 km Höhe (+): 840m Höhe (-): 300m
Today you hike through an alpi­ne pas­tu­re regi­on that is only visi­ble here in the Alps and pro­vi­des fasci­na­ting insights into his­to­ri­cal alpi­ne pas­tu­re far­ming. You reach the Sidan­joch, accom­pa­nied by rocks car­ved by the gla­cier ages ago. The near­by Rast­ko­gel­hüt­te offers a magni­fi­cent view of the Inn Val­ley, Kar­wen­del and the Tux Alps. After a short ascent to the Mit­ter­wands­kopf, you fol­low a pic­tures­que path past gla­cial forms, pools and along a moun­tain ridge to the Melch­bo­den. From here, the bus takes you down the Zil­ler­ta­ler Höhen­stra­ße, which is easy on the kne­es. Depen­ding on whe­re you stay over­night, con­ti­nue with the Zil­ler­tal­bahn to Aschau or Mayrhofen. 
Day 4
Mayrhofen/Aschau — Schle­geis — Pfitsch — Sterzing
Distanz: 13 km Höhe (+): 480m Höhe (-): 820m
In the mor­ning, take the com­for­ta­ble bus via the toll road to the Schle­geis reser­voir (1,800 m abo­ve sea level) for the start of today’s stage. The impo­sing dam wall built in the ear­ly 1970s for ener­gy and water sup­p­ly keeps one of Aus­tria’s lar­gest reser­voirs and the gla­ciers behind it in check. Rus­hing streams and impres­si­ve water­falls, scree and stone morai­nes cha­rac­te­ri­ze the mode­ra­te ascent on the well-main­tai­ned hiking trail to the Pfit­scher­joch through the almost unre­al land­scape. Befo­re you reach the Pfit­scher­joch­haus, you cross the bor­der to Ita­ly and South Tyrol and reach the hig­hest point of the day at 2,275 meters — the main Alpi­ne ridge has been crossed. Through gent­le alpi­ne pas­tu­res and later shady mixed forest, you hike a first sec­tion down the Pfitsch­tal val­ley. Our trans­fer will take you from St. Jakob to Sterzing.
Day 5
Ster­zing — Mühl­bach — Bruneck/Reischach
Distanz: 17 km Höhe (+): 470m Höhe (-): 1140m
After a dri­ve in the mor­ning, you reach Roden­eck Alm, the start­ing point of the stage. You hike across the sun­ny high pla­teau of the Lüs­ner-Roden­ecker Alm. Enjoy the magni­fi­cent view of the wide Bri­xen basin, the Eisack Val­ley and the Dolo­mi­tes. The hike takes you past seve­ral small moun­tain lakes up to the Ast­joch with a 360° pan­o­r­amic view. Seve­ral refresh­ment stops along the way invi­te you to lin­ger and enjoy. From the Ast­joch it’s downhill, and tho­se who wish can make a short detour to the Elle­ner Kreuz. The rou­te con­ti­nues via the Wal­der Alm, a small, rustic moun­tain pas­tu­re with a won­derful view down to Mon­tal. Over­night stay in Bru­neck / Reischach. 
Day 6
Bru­neck / Rei­schach — Kron­platz — Prags­er Wild­see — Prags
Distanz: 17 km Höhe (+): 670m Höhe (-): 1400m
In the mor­ning, take the cable car (ticket included) to the famous ski and hiking moun­tain Kron­platz. The des­cent takes you over the Fur­kel Pass into the Fanes-Sen­nes-Brai­es Natu­re Park, one of the lar­gest pro­tec­ted are­as in South Tyrol. From the Foje­döra high moun­tain pas­tu­re, you hike in the shadow of the impo­sing See­ko­fel mas­sif to the Prags­er Wild­see lake, the pearl of the Dolo­mi­te lakes. Expe­ri­en­ced hikers have the opti­on of exten­ding the stage via the high alpi­ne lake. 
Day 7
Brai­es — Pra­to Piaz­za — Hell­tal — Höhen­stein Val­ley — Cortina
Distanz: 19 km Höhe (+): 940m Höhe (-): 850m
Along­side the Hohe Gaisl and the Kreuz­ko­fel group, the Plät­z­wie­se is one of the most popu­lar hiking are­as in the coun­try. This regi­on is par­ti­cu­lar­ly attrac­ti­ve to visi­tors due to its extra­or­di­na­ry flo­ra and wild lakes. Start­ing from Pra­to Piaz­za, you reach the Hell­tal val­ley via the Stru­del­kopf. This stage offers you a uni­que view of the Hohe Gaisl, the Three Peaks, the Tofa­na and Mon­te Cristallo. 
Day 8
Indi­vi­du­al departure
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Unfort­u­na­te­ly, your trip ends today. If you wish, you can extend your stay or take the con­nec­ting tour to Venice.

Additional information

7‑day care­free number
No mat­ter how well plan­ned a trip is, in rare cases unex­pec­ted things hap­pen. At such times, it’s nice to have someone you can rely on on site. For this reason, you will have a local cont­act per­son on our indi­vi­du­al acti­vi­ty tours who will be hap­py to pro­vi­de you with infor­ma­ti­on and, as sta­ted in the tra­vel docu­ments, can be cont­ac­ted in an emer­gen­cy. If no tra­vel insu­rance is lis­ted in your offer, we would like to recom­mend that you take out tra­vel can­cel­la­ti­on insu­rance eit­her as part of an insu­rance packa­ge or as indi­vi­du­al insurance.
Insu­ran­ces
Tra­vel can­cel­la­ti­on insu­rance inclu­ding tra­vel inter­rup­ti­on insu­rance is recom­men­ded in any case. Infor­ma­ti­on can be found at: https://www.feuer-eis-touristik.de/reiseversicherung
Mini­mum num­ber of participants
If a mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is requi­red for the tour to take place, this is sta­ted under Pri­ces and ser­vices. If the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is not rea­ched, we reser­ve the right to can­cel the trip up to four weeks befo­re the date of arri­val. We recom­mend that you do not orga­ni­ze your arri­val and depar­tu­re until after this dead­line has passed.
Par­king
We will inform you about par­king faci­li­ties with your tra­vel documents.
Arri­val
BY TRAIN: regu­lar con­nec­tions from Munich, chan­ge in Jen­bach to the Zil­ler­tal Rail­way by car: coming from the north: A8 and A93 high­ways, from Kie­fers­fel­den Inn­tal­au­to­bahn to Wie­sing, from the­re on the B169 to Fügen.
Tour cha­rac­ter
The tour is modera­te­ly dif­fi­cult and requi­res a good basic level of fit­ness and sure­foo­ted­ness. It runs along very well-main­tai­ned hiking trails, forest roads and paths. The­re are no clim­bing pas­sa­ges or hea­vi­ly expo­sed sec­tions. Nevert­hel­ess, it is an advan­ta­ge if you are reason­ab­ly free from gid­di­ness. If you are not fit or the wea­ther is not play­ing ball, it is usual­ly pos­si­ble to tra­vel to the next stage desti­na­ti­on by public trans­port or cab.
Other notes
To ensu­re a stress-free start to the trip, we recom­mend arri­ving at the start­ing point by ear­ly evening in most cases. Some tours start as ear­ly as mid­day, in which case we recom­mend arri­ving the day befo­re and will be hap­py to book an extra night for you at the same time. The indi­vi­du­al return jour­ney takes place on the last day of the tour. The kilo­me­ters are appro­xi­ma­te and may dif­fer from the actu­al kilo­me­ters cover­ed. This tour is not sui­ta­ble for peo­p­le with redu­ced mobility. 
Shut­tle bus Mayr­ho­fen — Schlegeisspeicher
On the mor­ning of the 4th day, our Feu­er und Eis bus shut­tle will take you from your hotel in Aschau or Mayr­ho­fen to the Schle­geis reser­voir. Short­ly after the impo­sing dam wall, you then set off in the direc­tion of Pfit­scher­joch and cross the main Alpi­ne ridge. If, in our opi­ni­on, it is not pos­si­ble to cross the ridge due to wea­ther con­di­ti­ons (e.g. seve­re wea­ther war­ning, onset of win­ter), our free bus trans­fer from Aschau/Mayrhofen will take you to the next stage hotel in Pfitsch­tal or Sterzing.
