Trekking in the stubai alps Allan hartley

Of the many Alpine areas, few can match the Stubai in the Austrian Tyrol as a venue for a first Alpine season.
Shapely peaks, good paths and some of the best huts in the Alps make it ideal for novices who want to extend their experience beyond Britain.
This book describes two celebrated tours, both of which are accomplished in eight to ten days:
-The Stubai Rucksack Route
An ideal route for the mountain walker that links eight huts without crossing glaciers or difficult passes
-The Stubai Glacier Route
Known as the Höhen Weg, this tour takes in the best of the Stubai Alps; it is a hut-to-hut tour which crosses glaciers and offers ample opportunities for ascents of easy peaks
