    Der hier auf dem Track angegebene Gratweg direkt hinter der Kellerjochhütte ist seit längerer Zeit nicht mehr begehbar, da ein Teil des Weges bei einem größeren Steinschlag verschüttet wurde. Man muss daher den Weg über die alte Kellerjochhütte nehmen. Ich stelle unseren Track, der bis zur Bushaltestelle Pertrach kurz vor Schwaz führt, hier zur Verfügung: https://www.komoot.com/de-DE/tour/2461876014?ref=itd Schwaz ist in jedem Fall auch einen längeren Besuch wert mit allen historischen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Wir haben zünftig im Gasthof Einhorn Schaller mit sehr guter Tiroler Küche genächtigt.

    Super schöne Wanderung, allerdings gibt es den Weg vom Proxenstand nicht mehr (der eingezeichnet ist) hinunter, sondern müsste herum gehen... am besten, man geht den gleichen Weg hinunter, wie hinauf.

    die Tour entspricht dem Original "Inntaler Höhenweg" - www.inntaler-hoehenweg.at - vom Patscherkofel - Glungezerhütte - Lizumer Hütte - Rastkogel - Kellerjoch bzw. umgekehrt. Die Etappe Weidener Hütte bis zur Glungezerhütte ( korrekter Name) ist für die allermeisten Geher viel zu lang, daher empfehlen wir stets diese Etappe zu teilen Glungezerhütte (Nächtigung) - Lizumerhütte (Nächtigung) - Weidener Hütte (Nächtigung) bzw. umgekehrt.
