Want to experience the best of the Zillertal Alps without committing to a full week in the mountains? This 4-day route along the Berliner Höhenweg is your perfect long weekend escape. It includes the most challenging and spectacular sections of the full Höhenweg — high alpine terrain, dramatic passes like the Lappenscharte and Mörchenscharte, rugged ridgelines, steep descents, and exposed traverses. Some sections are rated T4 to T5, making this trek ideal for experienced mountain hikers looking for real adventure.

You’ll start at Gasthof Wasserfall and finish at Zemmgrund, passing iconic huts like the Kasseler Hütte, Greizer Hütte, and the grand Berliner Hütte. Expect cables, scrambling, glaciers in the distance, and that pure alpine thrill you only get when you’ve earned your views. With all accommodations arranged for you, this is a hassle-free, high-impact trekking experience in one of Austria’s most dramatic mountain ranges.
