The Zillertal Loop winds through the high-alpine landscape of the Zillertal Alps in eight stages, passing through eight mountain huts. Excluding glacier crossings, the Schönbichler Horn marks an elevation of more than 3,100 meters. This means that hikers who wish to complete the entire loop must have experience and be sure-footed, have a head for heights, and be in excellent physical condition. Those who meet all these requirements and are also blessed with beautiful, safe weather will surely look back on this week-long tour (plus a day or two) as a highlight of their mountaineering life for the rest of their lives. --- The construction of the Berliner Hütte in 1879 marked the beginning of alpine tourism in the region. The construction of additional huts and the trails connecting them initially led to the Berliner Höhenweg, so named because five of the huts along the route belonged to the Berlin section of the DAV. Today, there are still three.

Roadbook
Trail No. 502 takes us from the hut up through the pastures of the Schwarzensteinalm to the Feldkar, and on to the magnificent Schwarzsee, which we reach after climbing about 500 meters in elevation—for the truly intrepid, a quick dip in the ice-cold water beckons. From there, the trail winds steeply uphill; at the fork, take the right path into the Rosskar and continue on to the Mörchenscharte (2,872 m). From there, we descend a short, very steep section secured with ropes before the trail eases into narrow switchbacks across snowfields and scree down into the Floitengrund. Shortly before reaching the valley floor, we pass another section secured with ropes and finally descend all the way down via a ladder. From here on, we pay close attention to the trail markers, which lead us across the Floitenbach and beyond it—another solid 400 meters of elevation gain—to the Greizer Hütte.
