The Habicht is a very prominent peak between the Stubai and Gschnitz valleys. At first sight it is hard to believe that a technically relatively easy climb leads to this mountain. Due to its exposed position, the view in all directions is impressive. The Innsbrucker Hütte halfway up the ascent offers a welcome rest and accommodation during this tour.
While the lower half of the tour is a beautiful hike on good paths, the route above the hut is over 1000 meters of altitude difference in more demanding terrain. Some parts are steep, a bit exposed and secured with steel ropes. Therefore, it is important to plan your tour accordingly. An early start (the ascent is caught early by the sun) and safe weather (it should be dry in the upper part) allow a great mountain experience.
