Wake up to a golden sunrise over limestone peaks, sip your first coffee as the valley still sleeps, and get ready to hike one of the most impressive corners of the Austrian Alps. The Karwendel massif, a rugged wilderness just a stone’s throw from Innsbruck, is home to high trails, hanging valleys and silent forests that stretch for days. This three-day trek connects two iconic huts: Karwendelhaus and Hallerangerhaus. You’ll hike across alpine meadows, crest scenic passes, and descend towards the medieval town of Hall in Tirol—where your journey ends with a well-earned Apfelstrudel.

This trip is perfect for hikers who want a short but rewarding adventure. Each day offers varied terrain and crisp alpine air. Expect up to 16.4 kilometers on the longest day, with moderate elevation gain and no technical challenges. You’ll carry a light pack and sleep in cozy mountain huts, while we sort the rest. Start in Scharnitz and finish in Hall in Tirol. Three days of pure Karwendel magic.

Itinerary

  • Full travel guide

  • Accommodation

    During your Adlerweg, 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 at the huts includes dinner and breakfast. We will arrange this for you as well. This allows you to travel lighter and have one less thing to worry about. Bear in mind that lunch is not included, but it can be purchased at the huts. Here you can also buy an array of snacks and bottled water.
