This Gletscherweg is an amazing round trip from the bottom of the Innergschloss valley, going through the forrest alongside a big powerfull waterfall up to some lakes and eventually to boulders and the glacier, to then return on the other side back to the valley. To get to this hike, you can park (or get a bus to the parking area) at Matreier Taurnhaus and then either walk up to Innergschloss (3 hours return) or take a taxi or carriage to Innergschloss. They go all the time in the summer, so no need to make a reservation. Then once up at Innergschloss, you hike about 25 minutes through a flat valley to the start of the loop, which is 4 hours back to the valley. So in total, around 5 hours from the place you can get to with public transport, or around 8 hours from the Matreier Taurnhaus. You can hike very close to the glacier and the views are amazing there! The last bit you have to be a bit more steady on your feet as there is some clambering up boulders, but kids were doing it too, so take it easy and you will be fine.

For over 20 years I have been passing on my enthusiasm for white water to kayaking courses on the Isel here in East Tyrol on the south side of the Alps. The Isel is the last free flowing river in the Alps and we mostly have it all to ourselves and undisturbed. I am not only a certified kayak instructor, but also a certified Austrian national park ranger and I look forward to showing you the beauty of my East Tyrolean home on and next to the river!
