A guidebook to four treks in Austria's Hohe Tauern: the 61km Reichen Group Hut-to-Hut Rucksack Route, the 68km Venediger Group Hut-to-Hut Rucksack Route, the 78km Venediger Glacier Tour and the 99km Glockner Rucksack Route. Whereas the three rucksack routes require only good fitness and mountain walking experience, the glacier tour involves glacier crossings.
The Reichen Rucksack Route is presented in 7 stages, the Venediger Rucksack Route in 7, the Venediger Glacier Tour in 8 and the Glockner Rucksack Route in 9. Also included are optional ascents of neighbouring peaks, including Austria's highest, the Gross Glockner, some of which may require specialist equipment and mountaineering skills.
Clear route description illustrated with 1:50,000 mapping
Elevation profiles for each trek
Comprehensive hut directory
Detailed summary of each day's challenges and any potential hazards
Ideas for linking stages of the routes to complete a traverse of the Hohe Tauern National Park and an ascent of the Gross Glockner
