> The most beautiful stages of the Adlerweg

The Eagle Walk, known in German as the Adlerweg, is one of the most famous treks in Tyrol, Austria. If seen from above, the Adlerweg map resembles the silhouette of an eagle hovering in the air with its wings spread wide open, therefore its name. This famous hike runs from east to west through the whole of Tyrol and encompasses 33 stages and 413 kilometers.

One of the beauties of the Adlerweg is its versatility and variety. The trail guides you through several mountain ranges where you will discover valleys, lakes, rivers, ridges, and so much more! If you want to conquer this Austrian gem, you must know that the trail requires alpine experience, a firm foot, and a head for heights.

We have prepared this moderate, 7-day trek for those trekkers who have some trekking experience but would like to take it a little slower. Are you ready for the most beautiful stages of the Adlerweg?

Itinerary

Day

Innsbruck - Pfeishütte

Duration: 07:05 h

Distance: 10.7 km

Ascent: 1490 m

Descent: 390 m

Our hike starts in fabulous Innsbruck, at Bergstation Hungerburg. Here you have the option of bridging the first part of the hike with the Seegrubenbahn that leads all the way to Bergstation Seegrubenbahn. This tempting choice quickly saves over 900 altitude meters and keeps your legs fit for the remaining hours along the Mandlspitze to the Pfeishütte. Prefer not to take the Bergbahn? You can zigzag from Bergstation Hungerburg via the Taubental to the Goetheweg, which connects to the Adlerweg. If you want to take it easy on the first day, you can also take the Hafelekarbahn from the Seegrubenbahn to start the stage right at the top of Innsbruck.

No matter which route you choose, be ready for a demanding day in the mountains – the climbs and descents can be steep, and the terrain is rocky and rugged.

Pfeishütte

Info

Day

Pfeishütte - Hallerangerhaus

Duration: 05:45 h

Distance: 9.5 km

Ascent: 710 m

Descent: 860 m

Your first morning in the Karwendel. Today you hike along the Kleine Stempeljochspitze and descend steeply into the Isstal – take care, as this part of the trail can be quite demanding on the knees. You also have the option of hiking via the Wilde-Band-Steig to the Hallerangerhaus, but please note: This is a fairly technical variant. At Kahlstatt, the two different options meet up again, and from here you continue through the Durchslag (Doorslag) to the Hallerangerhaus, which has been a loyal support point for mountain sports in the Karwendel since the early 1900s.

Hallerangerhaus

Day

Hallerangerhaus - Scharnitz

Duration: 06:15 h

Distance: 18.7 km

Ascent: 30 m

Descent: 840 m

Today's route is only downhill. After a good breakfast, you hike for about an hour on a wide trail out of the valley toward the Kastenalm. From the Kastenalm, it's an easy hike with a brisk descent to Scharnitz.

Gasthof Goldener Adler (Scharnitz)

Info

Day

Scharnitz - Karwendelhaus

Duration: 06:00 h

Distance: 15.7 km

Ascent: 840 m

Descent: 20 m

After an overnight stay in cosy Scharnitz, today it's time to hike up to the Karwendelhaus. You start this day with a gradual ascent, before heading back into the mountains. After around 9 kilometres you'll pass a small waterfall and then arrive at a beautiful viewpoint. This is always a good moment for a break, and of course some photos. After this you only have a few kilometres to go before you arrive at the Karwendelhaus, where a well-earned cold beer awaits you.

Day

Karwendelhaus - Falkenhütte

Duration: 03:55 h

Distance: 8.8 km

Ascent: 470 m

Descent: 420 m

After one long day, today is an easy-going stage that takes you on the 10th stage of the Adlerweg through the Filztal. A mix of cart and forest paths lead you via the most beautiful Almen to the other side of the Karwendel, where you will find the Falkenhütte. Enjoy a Tyrolean meal in this renovated classic mountain hut.

Falkenhütte

Info

Day

Falkenhütte - Lamsenjochhütte

Duration: 05:45 h

Distance: 12 km

Ascent: 830 m

Descent: 720 m

This morning you'll descend along the Lalider mountain walls to the Hohljoch. It is worth stopping for a good cup of coffee and a piece of Apfelstrüdel in the hamlet of Eng. It is believed that this pasture has been used by local farmers for hundreds of years and you will find a good piece of Almenkäse anyway. The relatively short day you continue via the Binsalm to today's destination, the Lamsenjochhütte.

Lamsenjochhütte

Info

Day

Lamsenjochhütte - Maurach

Duration: 06:30 h

Distance: 17.5 km

Ascent: 50 m

Descent: 1050 m

After a last breakfast in the Karwendel it is time to descend. Via the Käsealm Fritze Hittn you hike along the Wiesenweg past the Sennhütte Falzthurn. A perfect opportunity for a last plate of jausen and a glass of beer. From here it's only about three hours to the Achensee and today's final destination, Maurach. Straight back to Innsbruck? You hike past Achensee Speespitz station, from where you can take the train.
