"Trekking in Austria's Stubai Alps" - "Hiking and mountaineering on the Stubai Rucksack Route and the Stubai Glacier Tour" ("Hartley Allan")(Paperback / softback)

Explore the high alpine landscapes of Austria’s Stubai Alps with three classic hut-to-hut treks ranging from demanding mountain walking to serious glacier travel. This guidebook covers the 79km Stubai Rucksack Route, the 60km Stubai Glacier Tour (with an optional South Tyrol extension), and the 67km Gschnitztal Rundtour, offering a choice of unforgettable multi-day challenges in one of the Eastern Alps’ most dramatic regions. Each route is designed for experienced walkers seeking a true alpine journey. The Stubai Rucksack Route is ideal for fit mountain walkers with good head for heights and navigation skills, while the Stubai Glacier Tour steps things up with high-level terrain and glacier crossings, requiring appropriate equipment and experience. The Gschnitztal Rundtour provides a quieter circuit through remote valleys and rugged peaks, showcasing the variety of landscapes within the Stubai Alps. The treks are clearly broken down into manageable daily stages. The Stubai Rucksack Route is described in 9 stages, the Stubai Glacier Tour in 7 stages (extended to 11 with the South Tyrol option), and the Gschnitztal Rundtour in 7 stages. Optional ascents of neighbouring summits are included throughout, such as Habicht, Zuckerhütl, and Wilder Freiger, offering rewarding side trips for strong parties, with clear notes where specialist equipment or mountaineering skills may be required.
