The secret of the eternal ice

Helpful facts

Guided hike from the Zillertal Alps Nature Park

Berliner Hütte glacier trail

During the last ice age, several glaciers united in the Zemmgrund to form a gigantic ice flow and gave the valley its present shape. In the meantime, the glaciers have retreated far into the high mountains as a result of climate change. The highlight of our tour is the stage on the glacier trail (no ice contact), where we approach the Berliner Hütte in the fresh mountain air. Here we learn interesting facts about geology, the formation of the Alps and the world of "eternal ice". Finally, we reach the Berliner Hütte, which was built in 1879 and is now a listed building. It is a well-known base for mountaineers and glacier explorers and a symbol of Alpine history. We will be impressed by the architecture and flair of the hut and enjoy the fascinating mountain panorama on the terrace!
