Inntaler Höhenweg
****
The “Inntaler Höhenweg 2000” is a 6-day high alpine trek that follows the 2,000 m contour line eastwards high above the Inntal Valley, from the Patscherkofel to the Kellerjoch and vice versa. The trail is located at altitudes between 1,800 and 2,800 m and leads through the largely unspoiled, secluded mountains of the Tux Alps.
From Innsbruck/Igls/Patscherkofel railway it traverses the Patscherkofel on the Stone Pine Path (Zirbenweg ) to the Glungezer Hütte alpine hut (2,610 m), and along the "Glungezer & Geier" ridge route across the seven TuXer summits to Lizumer Hütte alpine hut (2,019 m). From here it follows central alpine route 02A over the Grafennsjoch to Weidener Hütte alpine hut, from there over the Nurpensjoch to Rastkogel Hütte alpine hut (2,117 m), to Hochfügen and over the Loassattel to Kellerjoch Hütte alpine hut, before descending to Schwaz.
The "Inntaler" trail runs through the conservation area that encompasses Patscherkofel, Zirmberg and Viggartal Valley, above the Blue Lakes, skirting the Voldertal, Navistal, Wattental, Nafingtal, Nurpenstal, Sidantal and Finsinggrund valleys. The Patscherkofel and the high-altitude chain that continues eastward to the Glungezer afford beautiful views across the Inntal Valley to the Northern Chain and the Karwendel mountains, and as far as the Central Alps to the south. The middle section of the route between Navis Jöchl and Grafennsjoch provides excellent views of the Zillertal valleys. From Kellerjoch the panoramas stretch out towards Innsbruck, the Zillertal Valley and the Karwendel mountains. Wonderful flora and fauna are constant companions on the route.
