A guidebook to three hut-to-hut treks in Austria’s Stubai Alps: the 79km Stubai Rucksack Route, the 60km Stubai Glacier Tour – plus a South Tirol extension, and the 67km Gschnitztal Runde Tour.

Also included are optional ascents of neighbouring peaks, including Habicht, Zuckerhutl and Wilder Freiger, some of which may require specialist equipment and mountaineering skills.

An engineer by profession, Allan Hartley spent the majority of his working life overseas engaged on major construction projects. Throughout this time, however, he maintained his close links with Austria. He believes that Austria and the Dolomites of neighbouring Italy remain one of mountaineering's best-kept secrets, with their heady mix of superb scenery, good huts and first-class food, and that they are areas better suited to the average mountaineer than the higher mountains to the west. In addition to Austria and the Alps, Allan has climbed in east Africa, the Falkland Islands and the Greater Ranges in Nepal and Pakistan, as well as in lesser-known areas such as the Zagros mountains of Iran and, more recently, the Hajr mountains of the Arabian peninsula. Allan is a long-term member of the Austrian Alpine Club, as well of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild, an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society and a holder of the International Mountain Leaders Award. His home is on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales.
