We start in Hoch-Imst and quickly leave the hustle and bustle around the Imster Bergbahnen and the Alpine Coaster. At an altitude of 1500 m, we reach the ascent path above the middle station and Untermarkter Alm, which leads from the middle station to the Muttekopfhütte. If you take the first stage with the lift, the hut ascent is shortened by a nice and interesting 450 meters in altitude.

    Kurzweilige, aber knackige Tour mit tollen Aussichten. Im Hochsommer bietet ein Stopp am Badesee in Hoch-Imst willkommene Abkühlung. Super, wenn man Lust auf ein bisschen Kraxeln hat :). Der Abstieg war umso einfacher.

    Anstatt den Abstecher zur Hanauer Hütte könnte man auch einen Abstecher zum Bitterichsee machen. ACHTUNG: der Weiterweg über das Mintschejöchl zum Sacktal ist oft bis weit in den Hochsommer durch ein steiles Firnfeld unbegehbar!

    Die Schlucht ist auf jeden Fall das Highlight der Tour, macht ca. die Hälfte der Strecke aus. Der Rest ist aus meiner Sicht eher durchschnittlich. Schlucht 5 Sterne, Wetterkreuz 4 Sterne, Rest 3 Sterne.

    Tip für eine gigantische Rundtour: Auto in Hochimst kostenfrei abstellen und durch die Rosengartenschlucht nach Imst laufen. Die Bushaltestelle HOTEL Stern liegt kurz hinter dem Ende der Rosengartenschlucht an der Kirche links, kurz den Hügel hoch und rechts. Dort fährt der Bus zum Hahntennjoch ab.
