You can choose everything on this tour: The altitude difference on the ascent, the cuisine to stop at and your favorite way down into the valley. As long as you stop off at at least one of the excellent restaurants, you can only be right.
Moderately difficult hike with optional ascent aid (in sections or up to the highest point in the Alpjoch). From there, a somewhat exposed but well-secured path via the Drischlsteig to the Muttekopfhütte. Descent through alpine meadows to the Latschenhütte and via the Jägersteig to the U-Alm. From there, descent either on foot, by gondola or with the Alpine Coaster.
The cable cars in Hoch Imst serve as the starting point for this adventure. Here you have the choice: take the gondola up to the Alpjoch in comfort and enjoy the fantastic view or opt for the sporty ascent on foot. The hike starts from the Alpjoch via the Drischelsteig trail. Although this path is well secured, it is not suitable for people with a fear of heights or weak nerves. However, the narrow, quite exposed path rewards you with magnificent views. The Muttekopfhütte, the first stage destination, is on the way and promises a well-earned rest. From the Muttekopfhütte, you have a view of the next destination, the Latschenhütte. The descent now leads over hill and dale and lush alpine meadows to the Latschenhütte. The way back leads along the mystical Jägersteig trail. The silence of the forest and the mysterious atmosphere of the path make this section a special experience. At the end of the Jägersteig is the U-Alm, where the hike starts.
