TRINS: THE AUSTRIAN TYROL

Day 1
Start Trins (3 hours from Munich airport).

Day 2 - 7
Six guided daywalks through Gschnitztal and Obernberg valleys. All walking is optional and you may choose simply to relax in the hotel or visit Innsbruck for the day.
Grade B walking will include climbing to the old chapel of St. Magdalena, perched on a ledge at 1600m above the valley floor. Using a cable car to gain height, we can ascend the summit of Nösslachjoch (2231m) for a wonderful walk along an open ridge, before descending gently to the valley floor. Making use of public buses, we also walk to the scenic Obernbergersee Lake (1600m) and onto the attractive church of St. Nikolaus, perched on a hill in the middle of the valley.
Grade C will involve walking to reach a selection of the mountain huts in the immediate area of the Gschnitztal, including the Padasterjochhaus (2232 m), the Tribulaunhütte (2064 m) and the Blaserhütte (2180m) each with stunning views of the glacier-clad Stubai Alps. From the Obernberg valley, we ascend to the Portjoch (2110 m) for a magnificent balcony route on the Italian side of the border ridge, with, on a clear day, spectacular views of the Dolomites far to the south.
