クシュニッツのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

The path from the valley to the Innsbrucker Hut, which leads past this bench, is very demanding! The descent is particularly challenging.

Shortly before the final climb to Habicht, this simple, stone-built rest stop offers shelter from the wind and space for a well-deserved break. Surrounded by rugged rock and breathtaking views of the Stubai and Zillertal Alps, this is a place to recharge your batteries – a quiet, impressive spot at over 3,000 meters, where nature and humanity join hands for a moment.

The path to the summit of the Habicht is not only scenically impressive, but also dotted with small signs of human presence: so-called Stoanmandln (stone men). These artfully stacked piles of stones not only serve as orientation in the barren high mountains, but also exude a special, almost meditative calm. On the rocky plateau below the summit, they create a quiet, archaic atmosphere – a moment of connection between nature, people, and the mountain.

The Habicht is one of the highest and most distinctive peaks in the Stubai Alps. The ascent usually starts from the Innsbrucker Hut (2,369 m) along the well-marked south ridge. While the trail requires surefootedness and a head for heights, technical climbing skills are not necessary – ideal for experienced hikers. From the summit, an impressive 360° panorama opens up: to the south, the Dolomites and the glaciers of the Central Alps, to the west, the Ötztal Alps, and to the east, the Zillertal Alps. To the north, the view sweeps across the Inn Valley to the Nordkette and deep into the wild Karwendel range – a worthwhile vantage point for anyone who wants to reach high.

A nice place to eat well and relax.

The Habicht is one of the Seven Summits of the Stubai Alps.

Beautiful, not too difficult evening tour from the Innsbrucker Hut (approx. 45 minutes each way).

The Santa Madgalena via ferrata is rated C, although a more difficult E variant is also available. The safety is very good, and the ascent is 270 meters. A scenic treat awaits you on this via ferrata, with a vertical middle section and a pretty mountain chapel at the end. The return route leads back to the valley via a hiking trail. However, you should avoid the via ferrata in wet conditions. Before you start climbing, you can try out various via ferrata difficulties from A to E at the start in the Alpine Safety Area.
