To the natural paradise of the Tux Alps

Helpful facts

Guided hike from the Zillertal Alps Nature Park

From Stoankasern over the Junssee to the Geier summit.

From the Tux Center we take the hiking cab to Stoankasern, where the last mountain cheese dairy of the Zillertal is located. From there we first walk through lovely alpine pastures, accompanied by the glances of curious marmots, which inhabit this area in great numbers. After a few small terrain steps, our path turns to the right, overcomes a steep grassy slope and a short rock passage in several serpentines. Once we have done this, we are rewarded with the sight of the dreamlike Junssee, which now lies at our feet. From the lake, the trail continues through the scree slope to a yoke, from where it is only a few minutes to the summit of the Geier (2,857 m), where a fantastic mountain panorama awaits us. After our way back, the hiking cab takes us back to Tux-Lanersbach.
