It’s that moment at sunrise, when you sip your coffee outside the Johannishütte, and the first light hits the mighty Großvenediger. The air is crisp, your legs still waking up, and you realize you’re walking one of the finest high routes in Austria. No road noise, no crowds—just raw alpine beauty and a string of authentic mountain huts waiting to host you.
The Venediger Höhenweg is a 4-day hut-to-hut adventure in the heart of Hohe Tauern National Park. You’ll hike from Rosstocker-Hütte to Johannishütte, over the rocky Zopetscharte, and onwards to Eisseehütte before finishing in the peaceful Virgental. The crossing of the Zopetscharte introduces you to T3-level hiking: expect some steeper terrain and a taste of real alpine challenge. This trek is for experienced hikers who want big views, authentic huts, and an unforgettable mountain loop—without needing a full week off.
You’ll receive access to our trekking app, which serves as your complete digital travel guide for the Venediger Höhenweg. Inside, you’ll find everything you need for your trek: route descriptions, hiking maps, navigation support, payment information, and all the key details specific to your journey.
During your Venediger Höhenweg, you will spend your nights in mountain huts. In the mountain huts we normally only book dormitories, but we can look into private rooms on request. If the private rooms are fully booked or not available in the hut, we automatically book a bed in dormitories for you. Please note that private rooms are more expensive and there will be an additional charge for this.
Accommodation in the huts includes dinner and breakfast, unless otherwise indicated in the exclusive list. This allows you to travel lighter and not have to worry about an extra meal. Please note, however, that lunch is not included, but can be purchased at the huts.
Our trekking app also includes built-in navigation support. With GPS-based maps and offline access, you can follow the trail confidently and stay on route even without mobile signal.
You have to make your own way to the starting point. The total amount does not include personal transport.
Should you need any form of (public) transport on location, this is not part of the trekking package. This includes the use of taxi, bus, cable cars, gondolas, ferries, etc.
Half-board is included in the price of this trek. Lunch, however, is not. You can get something to eat at the mountain huts along the way.
Your international travel insurance is your own responsibility. Discuss your itinerary with the insurance company before your trek.
Personal expenses on such as souvenirs, drinks, and other similar expenses are for your own account.
