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. This package includes a hotel before and after your hike. Are you ready for the most beautiful stages of the Adlerweg?

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.

Your first morning in the Karwendel. Today you hike along the Kleine Stempeljochspitze and descend into the Isstal. 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 hike through the Durchslag (Doorslag) to the Hallerangerhaus, which has been a loyal support point for mountain sports in the Karwendel since the early 1900s.

After this you only have a few kilometres to go before you arrive at the Karwendelhaus, where a well-earned cold beer awaits you.
