It also presents numerous variants and summit ascents - including nine three-thousand-metre peaks - that will whet your appetite for more mountain adventures.</p><p>On its route across the Alps, the Tiroler Höhenweg passes through mountain regions with very different characteristics: it leads through the Zillertal Alps with their impressive glaciers, over the Brenner Pass and then through the Tribulaune with its bright dolomite peaks. It then touches the Stubai and Ötztal Alps and crosses the South Tyrolean Texel Group with its legendary Spronser Lakes. After 130 kilometers, it finally reaches Merano on the southern side of the main Alpine ridge.<br></p><p>The stages of this Alpine crossing are presented with precise route descriptions, map sections with the route marked and informative altitude profiles. Information on transport and shopping facilities simplify stage planning. GPS tracks are available to download from the Rother Bergverlag website. The hiking guide also offers detailed information on history, culture and sights as well as many tips on worthwhile places to stop for refreshments.<br></p><div><br></div>
