Stubai High Trail

More than 5,000 metres of altitude gain, 100 kilometres of hiking, eight mountain huts – and all in just one valley! The Stubai High Trail is one of the most beautiful high-altitude trails in the alpine region and leads through the Stubai Alps. Among the many highlights are the majestic glacier views between the Bremer Hütte and the Dresdner Hütte.

This high-altitude walking trail is classified as a challenging “black” route and leads exclusively through alpine terrain. For this reason, sure-footedness, appropriate levels of fitness, a good head for heights and the right equipment are prerequisites before attempting to explore the mighty mountain world of the Stubai Valley along the Stubai High Trail. The trail can be walked in both directions. Another special feature of the Stubai High Trail is that the hike can be started and terminated at any hut. This means hikers can complete as many stages of this long-distance trail as they want.
