The Venetian High Road, better known as "Venediger Höhenweg" in German, is a popular long-distance hiking trail in the Austrian Alps. This route offers hikers spectacular views of some of the most impressive mountain landscapes in Austria, including the Venediger Group, from which the route takes its name.

One of the best things about the Venediger Höhenweg is the variety of landscapes. The steep mountain passes and rugged trails will test you but you will be rewarded with impressive mountain peaks, glaciers, mountain lakes, rivers and alpine meadows. In short, you can fully enjoy true Austrian beauty on this tour. The Venediger Group dominates the panoramic view with its distinctive peaks, including the Großvenediger, Austria's 4th highest mountain.

All in all, this challenging hiking trail offers an unforgettable hiking experience for nature and mountain lovers. As this route combines several stages of the original route, it is essential you have hiking experience to ensure you reach the hut in time. With a little sense of adventure and the right pace, you can hike around the Grossvenediger in less than a week.
