More Information

Hiking from hut to hut

Mountaineering legend Peter Habeler may be known for his cutting-edge ascents in the world’s biggest mountains, but for him, the most beautiful peaks are here at home in the Zillertal Valley. For this reason, he lent his name to the Peter-Habeler Trail. Hike from hut to hut with overnight stays along the Peter-Haberler Route, the Berlin High Trail, or even beyond the country's borders while crossing the Alps on on the Transalp route.
