Trekking guide to two multi-day hut-to-hut tours in the stunningly scenic Austrian Tyrol, south of Innsbruck - the Stubai Rucksack Route (or Höhen Weg) and the more challenging Stubai Glacier Tour, which involves glacier crossing. Either tour can be completed in 8-10 days.
The Stubai embraces some of the best scenery in the Eastern Alps; the snow-capped peaks of the Wilder Freiger and Zuckerhuetl chain stand proud along the Frontier Ridge in an area with over 100 peaks above 3000m. All tracks and trails are waymarked and frequently signposted; unless venturing onto the glaciers no special equipment is needed nor additional climbing skills required.
Includes a comprehensive hut directory.
Colour throughout with lots of attractive maps and photos.
