The recommended starting point is the valley end of the mountaineering village of Vals in the Wipptal. At the valley end is the Guesthouse Touristenrast, accessible on weekdays by public buses and on weekends by a hiking bus by phone reservation (+43 664 2322528). Over a total distance of 56 km with 4,230 m ascent and 4,230 m descent, you reach 6 mountain huts in a beautiful alpine landscape. The high route from Friesenberghaus to Geraer Hut is considered by Peter Habeler to be one of the most beautiful crossings in the Eastern Alps. It is no coincidence that large parts of this area have been under protection since 1991 as part of the High Mountain Nature Park Zillertal Alps. Experience the magnificent high alpine landscape on the main Alpine ridge, encounter marmots and chamois along the way — these can also be impressive highlights. And not to forget: the cozy huts. Hike in the footsteps of Peter Habeler and be inspired by the imposing Zillertal mountain world.
