Parts 1 and 2 of the Munich — Venice hiking tri­lo­gy: From Munich to Cortina

from 2.438,- per person

This 14-day tour com­bi­nes the first two sec­tions of our Munich Venice hiking tri­lo­gy into an impres­si­ve Alpi­ne crossing. From the urban pul­se of Munich, the trail leads through the gent­le Isar flood­plains to Bad Tölz and on via the pan­o­r­amic Brauneck to the tran­quil Jachen­au. This is whe­re the alpi­ne heart of the tour beg­ins: the Kar­wen­del with its rug­ged cliffs, deep val­leys and the Gro­ßer Ahorn­bo­den as a scenic high­light. Via the Gra­mai­alm you reach the emer­ald green Achen­see and final­ly the idyl­lic Zil­ler­tal. From the­re, the rou­te con­ti­nues over the main Alpi­ne ridge at the Pfit­scher­joch into the fasci­na­ting moun­tain world of South Tyrol. You hike through the Fanes-Sen­nes-Prags Natu­re Park and across the wide Pra­to Piaz­za into the spec­ta­cu­lar Dolo­mi­te land­scape around Cor­ti­na d’Am­pez­zo. This tour com­bi­nes varied natu­re, alpi­ne chal­lenges and impres­si­ve pan­ora­mas to crea­te an unfor­gettable experience.

The stage beg­ins with a short train ride into the green Isar val­ley. The hike starts in Schäft­larn with a detour to the tra­di­tio­nal monas­tery befo­re you reach the Isar. Through the idyl­lic Pupplin­ger Au near Wolfrats­hau­sen, the trail leads through den­se ripa­ri­an forests, wide gra­vel are­as and quiet river­si­de paths. With a bit of luck, you may see one of the tra­di­tio­nal woo­den rafts gli­ding lei­su­re­ly down the Isar accom­pa­nied by music and a cheerful atmo­sphe­re. Con­ti­nue through the wide flood­plains to Gel­ting or Geretsried.

If you have spent the night in Gel­ting, take the bus to Gerets­ried and start the stage the­re. You fol­low the glis­tening rib­bon of the Isar upstream, past pris­ti­ne river­si­de land­scapes and cozy res­t­ing places. In the distance, the moun­ta­ins draw clo­ser and the Alpi­ne foot­hills show their most char­ming side. Your desti­na­ti­on is the his­to­ric spa town of Bad Tölz with its magni­fi­cent mar­ket street. 
Day 4
Bad Tölz — Brauneck — Lenggries

Once you have pas­sed the small lake, it is not far to the pan­ora­ma restau­rant on the Brauneck. If you wish, you can climb the last few meters to the sum­mit of the Brauneck. After you have refres­hed yours­elf in the restau­rant, you can des­cend eit­her on foot or by cable car (ticket not included). Once you arri­ve at the bot­tom, hike to the vil­la­ge of Leng­gries, per­haps take a stroll through the alley­ways and check into your hotel. 
Day 5
Leng­gries — Jachen­au — Hinterriß
Distanz: 9 km Höhe (+): 670m Höhe (-): 510m
A trans­fer will take you to the Jachen­au today. From the­re, the stage leads through quiet forest paths and fra­grant mea­dows, accom­pa­nied time and again by rus­hing streams. Towards the end, the steep des­cent sud­den­ly opens up a magni­fi­cent view of the wide Riß­tal val­ley and the rug­ged peaks of the Kar­wen­del moun­ta­ins. Once you reach the bot­tom, you can eit­her take the bus to your over­night accom­mo­da­ti­on or con­ti­nue hiking. The Kar­wen­del wel­co­mes you with its wild, unta­med beauty. 
Day 6
Hin­ter­riß — Eng
Distanz: 18 km Höhe (+): 990m Höhe (-): 750m

Now you hike through the roman­tic Johan­ne­s­tal val­ley deeper and deeper into the wild heart of the Kar­wen­del. The Fal­ken­hüt­te sits enthro­ned on a sun­ny high pla­teau, maje­s­ti­cal­ly embedded in the alpi­ne sce­n­ery. The des­cent rewards you with spec­ta­cu­lar views of the rug­ged Kar­wen­del peaks and the famous Gro­ßer Ahorn­bo­den, a natu­ral jewel of uni­que beauty.

Distanz: 17 km Höhe (+): 740m Höhe (-): 970m
After an enjoya­ble break­fast with moun­tain views, you set off on your last hiking stage. The path leads ste­adi­ly uphill, past the rustic Bins­alm and fur­ther up to the Lam­s­en­joch, accom­pa­nied by breath­ta­king views of the migh­ty Kar­wen­del peaks. The trail then gent­ly des­cends to the Gra­mai­alm via a pan­o­r­amic high trail. If you wish, you can hike on to the emer­ald green Achen­see lake in Per­tis­au. Alter­na­tively, the nost­al­gic bus will take you to Per­tis­au. From the­re, take the bus and train to your over­night accom­mo­da­ti­on in Fügen.

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 9
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.

In the mor­ning, you will tra­vel com­for­ta­b­ly by 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 for ener­gy and water sup­p­ly in the ear­ly 1970s — keeps one of Aus­tria’s lar­gest reser­voirs and the gla­ciers behind it in check. You cross the bor­der to Ita­ly and South Tyrol in front of the mana­ged Pfit­scher­joch­haus and reach the hig­hest point of the day at 2,275 meters — the main Alpi­ne ridge has been crossed.

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.

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.

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.

BAHN: Tra­vel to Munich Cen­tral Sta­ti­on in a rela­xed man­ner. From here you can reach your hotel by S‑Bahn or U‑Bahn.
