Inntal Valley. Mountain Trail
PLEASE NOTE: Due to extensive renovation work, the Glungezer Hut will be closed during the 2027 summer season!
Tour description
From Innsbruck/Igls, the route takes you over the Patscherkofel along the Zirbenweg to the Glungezer Hut (2,610 m), then along the “Glungezer & Geier” ridge route via the “Seven Tuxer Summits” to the Lizumer Hut (2,019 m). From here, the ‘Inntaler’ route follows the Zentralalpenweg 02A over the Grafennsjoch to the Weidener Hut, and from there over the Nurpensjoch to the Rastkogel Hut (2,117 m), on to Hochfügen and over the Loassattel to the Kellerjoch Hut, with a descent to Schwaz.
The ‘Inntaler’ runs through the Patscherkofel–Zirmberg–Viggartal landscape conservation area, above the Blue Lakes, and passes through the Voldertal, Navistal, Wattental, Nafing and Nurpen valleys, the Sidantal and the Finsinggrund. The Patscherkofel and the mountain range continuing eastwards to Glungezer offer beautiful views across the Inn Valley towards the Nordkette and the Karwendel, and southwards towards the Central Alps. In the central section of the route, between the Naviser Jöchl and the Grafennsjoch, there are magnificent views of the ‘Zillertal mountains’. From the Kellerjoch, the panoramic view stretches towards Innsbruck, into the Zillertal and the Karwendel. Wonderful flora and fauna are constant companions along the way.
