Mountain hikes Dresdner Hütte and "Top of Tyrol" circular route - views of hundreds of peaks

Neustift im Stubaital / Stubaier Alpen
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 6.2 km
Duration: 2:01 h

Admittedly, you can actually get higher than 3,210 meters in Tyrol. But rarely so easily and on such a spectacular viewing platform as in the Stubai Valley. So even if it is not the highest point, this viewing platform is definitely worthy of the title "Top of Tyrol".

Tour character

Ascent with the Stubai Glacier Cable Car to the Schaufeljoch mountain station, from there 10 minutes along a path with metal steps to the Top of Tyrol viewing platform. Stop off at the Jochdohle panorama restaurant.

Description

The circular hiking trail of the Dresdner Hütte is located directly in the area of the Stubai Glacier cable car. Passing small lakes and ponds, you reach the plateau of the Egesengrat (2,625m), a magnificent vantage point.

The "Top of Tyrol" summit platform (3,210m) on the rocky peak of the Großer Isidor also offers an excellent and easily accessible vantage point. Many people immediately feel the great height of over 3000 meters here. The motto here is to climb very slowly! The viewing platform offers a magnificent panoramic and distant view: from the nearby glaciers of the Stubai to the Dolomites, the Ötztal Alps and hundreds of other peaks in the Alps!

Hike 1: Circular hike Dresdner Hütte: Starting from the Dresdner Hütte, the trail leads past small lakes, pools and ponds to a plateau that offers a magnificent view of glaciers and peaks. The trail descends to the glacier stream. Here the landscape, the formative power of the water, becomes clearly visible and, above all, can be experienced with the senses. The trail continues to the point where the Gletscherbach joins the Fernaubach and back to the Dresdner Hütte. The Dresdner Hütte invites you to stop for refreshments.

Hike 2: "TOP OF TYROL" viewing platform: After taking the Stubai Glacier cable car up to the Schaufeljoch mountain station, you can reach the summit platform on the Großer Isidor in 10 minutes. In just a few minutes, you can climb up to the platform via metal steps from the "Schaufeljoch" mountain station. The Eisgrat restaurant invites you to stop for a bite to eat.
