Preparation

When to go

The Adlerweg is a summer walk with a season from mid-June to early October, although after heavy winter snowfall significant snow may remain at higher altitudes until mid-July, with early season falls commencing in early September. In a few locations, snow can remain all year. Opening and closing dates of mountain refuges and restaurants reflect the walkability of the paths, with refuges on the highest stages not opening until late June/early July and closing from mid-September. The most popular period for walking in Tyrol is mid-July to late August, and this is when you may encounter busy refuges, particularly those such as Karwendelhaus that coincide with the popular Vital Route mountain bike trail. You will meet very few walkers actually following the Adlerweg, although you will encounter many day walkers and even some walking the Munich to Venice long-distance route. Parts of the walk can be attempted in winter, but as this requires specialist skills and equipment it is not covered in this guide.
