Trek the soaring Tyrolean Alps from St Johann in Tirol to St Anton am
Arlberg on Austria’s legendary Adlerweg, or Eagle’s Way. This
iconic 326km (201 miles) long-distance path traces the outline of an
eagle’s wings across the Austrian Tyrol, linking historic Innsbruck
with spectacular alpine landscapes and the region’s famed
hospitality. Experience the best of Tyrol as you traverse wildflower
meadows, dramatic mountain ridges, and traditional alpine villages.
Perfect for experienced and fit walkers, this comprehensive Cicerone
guidebook presents the full Adlerweg, described in 24 stages covering
a total ascent of over 23,000m, from the rolling east to the rugged
western peaks. Each stage ranges from 7–32km (4–20 miles), with
easier alternative routes provided to avoid the most technical
sections, allowing you to tailor the trek to your abilities and
timeframe. Explore the iconic Wilderkaiser, Brandenberg, Rofan,
Karwendelgebirge, and Lechtaler Alpen, with far-reaching views to
Austria’s highest summits, including the Grossglockner and
Grossvenediger. The Adlerweg route is well served by public transport,
enabling flexible day trips or shorter sections. Stages of the
Adlerweg are clearly described, with distance, ascent/descent, and
estimated walking time, making it easy to plan your daily adventure,
whether you aim for a steady 3-week journey, a more challenging 16-day
traverse, or two fortnightly trips, with Innsbruck as a convenient
midpoint. Each stage includes comprehensive information on start and
finish points, high points, accommodation, and refreshment options to
help you plan every day of your Adlerweg trek. Includes essential
advice on preparation, transport connections, mountain safety, local
wildlife and culture, and what to pack, ensuring you are ready for
every aspect of your Eagle’s Way adventure. The Adlerweg is best
enjoyed from mid-June to early October, when alpine flowers bloom,
wildlife abounds, and mountain huts, inns, and guesthouses welcome
walkers with legendary Tyrolean hospitality and cuisine. Features
