Berlin High Trail

The challenging Berlin High Trail is a must-do high Alpine hike starting in Finkenberg and leading right through the heart of the extraordinary Zillertal Alps Nature Park, one of Tirol's crown jewels. Among the highlights of the hike is the Berliner Hütte, the largest hut in Tirol to be run by the Austrian Alpine Club and the first hut in the region to become a listed building. With its wood-panelled rooms, five-metre-high dining hall and chandeliers on the ceiling, it is a true pearl of the Alps.

The Berlin High Trail is a challenging hike for experienced walkers. It takes around a week to complete the full trail from start to finish with 85 kilometres and 6,600 vertical metres. The route can, however, also be shorted: from each hut there is the option of descending down into the valley.
Ascent from the valley: Finkenberg – Gamshütte hut
Uphill/downhill: 1,084/0 vertical metres, hiking time: 4.5 hours, distance: 6.8 kilometers, highest point: 1,918 metres, difficulty: intermediate
