Trekking in the Stubai Alps

A guidebook to three hut-to-hut treks in Austria’s Stubai Alps: the 79km Stubai Rucksack Route, the 60km Stubai Glacier Tour – plus a South Tirol extension, and the 67km Gschnitztal Runde Tour. Whereas the rucksack route requires only good fitness and mountain walking experience, the glacier tour involves glacier crossings.

The Stubai Rucksack Route is presented in 9 stages, the Stubai Glacier Tour in 7 (with the extension bringing it to 11) and the Gschnitzal Runde Tour in 7. Also included are optional ascents of neighbouring peaks, including Habicht, Zuckerhutl and Wilder Freiger, some of which may require specialist equipment and mountaineering skills.
