The Zillertal Hohenweg, also known as the Berliner Hohenweg, is a route of one week in a circuit from the Austrian resort of Mayrhofen. We trek roughly one quarter of the circuit, plus an extension to the border with Italy, to make a fine linear route in 3 days.
The Zillertal region comprises deep, narrow valleys with roads or tracks in the bottom, rising through woods to open corries and glaciers. We look South East from our route to these peaks, in good weather of course!
From Mayrhofen in the valley, we first climb through forests to the Gamshuette in a shorter first day. Two difficult mountain days then follow, as we traverse unusually steep hillsides to the Friesenberghaus, then more conventional rocky mountain paths to the Italian border and down for the bus to Mayrhofen. The bustling town - a big ski resort in Winter - gives the chance to celebrate.
Trek in the company of a fully qualified International Mountain Leader (IML). Each day the group decides its route based on the weather and energy levels.

Baggage transfer
Our trip's first and last nights are in Mayrhofen, with 2 mountain huts in between; hence there is no possibility of baggage transfer. There is no need for other transfers, as you are welcome to leave luggage at the hotel.
Options
If you join us as a private group instead of joining our scheduled treks, then we can adjust your Zillertal trek in various ways.
+ See Mayrhofen over a rest day
+ Make it 4 stages by adding a third hut
Of course, on a private trip you can come on the dates that suit you. Except for the composition of the group and the dates, everything else is the same as on our scheduled treks.
Why Alpine Exploratory for your guided trek?
Carefully chosen paths
On completing this trek you'll have walked from Mayrhofen to the Italian border, on this demanding but exhilarating trail. A substantial and key portion of the Zillertal Hohenweg is covered, with grandstand views into the high mountains.
Expert knowledge of the route
The same careful research that goes into our self-guided treks in the Austrian Tyrol and other regions, informs our guided treks too. We keep on top of changes to the route. We know that the hotels and huts that we book are crucial too.
Flexible, personal planning
If you bring your own group on a private guided trip then we have fuller flexibility, but even on our scheduled guided trips we like to be flexible. Single rooms are no problem, except at huts. (The single supplement takes this into account.) If you'd like extra nights in Mayrhofen before or after the trek, please just ask us.
Small groups expertly led
Alpine Exploratory follows best practice in the mountains. Our leaders are all International Mountain Leaders and we keep to a maximum group size of 8 clients. The aim is a small, tightly knit group with an engaging leader, completing this Zillertal trek in excellent style.
