Hiking the Inntaler high route (Höhenweg):

Check the map below for details.

On this beautiful hike you will pass the following peaks, make sure to sign the summit register at the summit crosses:

Heads up:
The Lizumer hut is within a restricted military area. But no worries, it is allowed to pass through.

4. Tips

Start early on day 3 and 4

You’ll hike at least 20 km on each of these days. It is absolutely doable, but you want to start your hiking day early.

You still need to catch a local train to Jenbach or Innsbruck in order to get on the Nightjet taking you to Frankfurt.

Bring poles

Day 4 will lead you downwards 2400 meters in altitude, therefore poles will help your knees to not suffer so much.
