Itinerary / Stages

Indi­vi­du­al arri­val in Matrei
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Tra­vel by train to Inns­bruck (per­fect­ly acces­si­ble by long-distance trains). From the­re or from Bren­ner free S‑Bahn con­nec­tions with the guest card or by car to Matrei am Bren­ner. Wel­co­me by your host Flo­ri­an. Din­ner and over­night stay at the Park­ho­tel Matrei. 
Stu­bai Val­ley Wipptal
Distanz: 12 km Höhe (+): 745m Höhe (-): 700m
You start your crossing in a rela­xed man­ner with a 15-minu­te orga­ni­zed trans­fer from your hotel to Mie­ders in the Stu­bai Val­ley. From the­re, you fol­low an anci­ent pil­grimage rou­te uphill. A total of 15 places of wor­ship line the cha­pel trail and repre­sent the mys­te­ries of the rosa­ry. You can deci­de for yours­elf whe­ther you want to fol­low the cha­pel trail or take a more lei­su­re­ly path in bet­ween. You will soon rea­li­ze that almost all paths lead to your desti­na­ti­on today, Maria Wald­rast. The monas­tery is not only one of the most beau­tiful, but also one of the oldest and, at 1,638 m, hig­hest places of pil­grimage in the Alps. Alpi­ne hos­pi­ta­li­ty meets breath­ta­king moun­tain and natu­ral sce­n­ery here, right at the tran­si­ti­on from the Stu­bai Val­ley to the Wipp Val­ley. After a short break, you hike down to Matrei to your hotel. Din­ner and over­night stay at the Park­ho­tel Matrei. 
Crossing into the Gschnitztal
Distanz: 8 km Höhe (+): 700m Höhe (-): 1000m
After a 10-minu­te orga­ni­zed trans­fer, you start your second stage at the Och­sen­alm, just below Maria Wald­rast. At first gent­ly, then some­what more stee­p­ly, you march in a south-wes­ter­ly direc­tion through the Lan­ge Tal. After a few minu­tes, the gra­vel road turns into a moun­tain path that leads you over beau­tiful mea­dows and through a moun­tain pine area in a few steep hair­pin bends up to the Bla­ser­hüt­te. From here it is only a few minu­tes over the gras­sy ridge up to the Bla­ser. Back at the Bla­ser­hüt­te, you have ear­ned a rest befo­re des­cen­ding to Trins. Here you can fol­low the forest path down into the val­ley, which is easy on the kne­es, or take a short­cut via a path. An orga­ni­zed trans­fer will take you back to your hotel from the Trins muni­ci­pal office bus stop. Din­ner and over­night stay at the Park­ho­tel Matrei. 
Per­fect pan­o­r­amic sum­mit Eggerberg
Distanz: 15 km Höhe (+): 1175m Höhe (-): 1015m
An orga­ni­zed trans­fer takes you to Trins, whe­re you con­ti­nue yes­ter­day’s tour. Gent­le paths take you through a beau­tiful, unspoilt high val­ley to the Tru­nahüt­te. From the hut, you hike fur­ther into the val­ley and then fol­low the moun­tain mea­dows up to the Egger­joch. From the pass, you climb over the broad south-west ridge to the Egger­berg with its striking sum­mit cross. Here you can enjoy the view back to your first two stages and for­ward to your upco­ming tours. From the sum­mit, fol­low the high trail to the Licht­see lake. The lake lies in a wide hol­low to the east of the Truna­joch at an alti­tu­de of 2,100 m. Let your gaze wan­der once more to the south to the Bren­ner moun­ta­ins, the Tri­bu­lau­nen and espe­ci­al­ly the Olpe­rer befo­re des­cen­ding to Obern­berg. From the lake, you have a choice of seve­ral rou­tes down to Obern­berg. In Obern­berg you can enjoy a short break at the Almis Berg­ho­tel befo­re your trans­fer takes you back to Matrei. Din­ner and over­night stay at the Park­ho­tel Matrei. 
Rou­te bet­ween Ita­ly and Austria
Distanz: 15 km Höhe (+): 1125m Höhe (-): 875m
Your orga­ni­zed trans­fer will take you back to Obern­berg. You hike through the Fra­der­tal val­ley past rustic Alpi­ne pas­tu­res until you climb up to the Flach­joch at the end of the val­ley. From here, the Jubi­lä­ums­weg trail takes you along old bor­der paths bet­ween North Tyrol and South Tyrol. After the Wech­sel­joch and the Kreuz­joch, the Sat­tel­berg with its 2,115 m is your last inter­me­dia­te desti­na­ti­on today. The sum­mit of the Sat­tel­berg lies exact­ly on the bor­der bet­ween Aus­tria and Ita­ly. Befo­re you hike down to the cozy Sat­tel­bergalm, let your gaze wan­der once again over the Zil­ler­tal and Stu­bai Alps; with a bit of luck, you might even spot a Dolo­mi­te peak or two. From here you can also look back on a won­derful week of tou­ring and reco­gni­ze on the hori­zon whe­re you star­ted four days ear­lier. You will cele­bra­te the end of your tou­ring week at the Sat­tel­bergalm, whe­re you will spend the night. Din­ner and over­night stay at the Sattelbergalm. 
Final: Via Ita­ly back to Matrei
Distanz: 5 km Höhe (+): 85m Höhe (-): 345m
After a hear­ty Wipp­tal moun­tain break­fast at the Sat­tel­bergalm, you first hike towards the Stein­alm befo­re fol­lo­wing a beau­tiful, some­what stee­per path down to the Bren­ner. On the way, you can make a short detour to the Eisack water­fall. Once you arri­ve at the Bren­ner Pass, you have a wide choice of bars whe­re you can enjoy a cap­puc­ci­no or an Ita­li­an cold drink after a visit to the Bren­ner out­let. The S‑Bahn will then take you back to Matrei. Din­ner and over­night stay at the Park­ho­tel Matrei. 
Say­ing good­bye to Tyrol
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
After break­fast, it’s time to say good­bye or start your indi­vi­du­al extension.
