Eight days full of unforgettable mountain adventures – that’s what our mountain hiking tour from Garmisch to Meran guarantees.

The routes lead past traditional alpine huts, tranquil mountain landscapes, as well as impressive gorges and high areas.

After a restful night in Leutasch, on the fourth day you hike through quiet forests to the Buchener Höhe and down into the Inntal valley. After this stage, you will spend the night in Landeck.

After a short transfer to the Reschenpass and a cable car ride to the Mutzkopf, your fifth hiking day can begin. Today’s tour takes you to the three-country border stone of Austria, Italy and Switzerland. The tour continues to the picturesque Reschen Lake with the sunken church in South Tyrol.
