Gschnitztal hut tris 

The star tips at a glance

Sternspitze 1: Trunahütte
From Trins you start in the direction of the Liftstüberl on the Gschnitzbach before following the markings to the Trunahütte and trail no. 125. The path is a little steeper through the forest, so take your time. The short detour to the Truna waterfall is recommended. From there, where the trail joins forest trail no. 525, it is only 2 more hairpin bends to your destination for the day, the Truna hut. After your well-earned rest, follow forest trail no. 525 in a leisurely up and down until you leave it shortly before the Gerichtsherrenalm for hiking trail no. 40. Follow the marked paths back to the village center of Trins.
Alternative: If you would like to extend your hiking day, we recommend hiking from the Trunahütte via a forest path and later via trail no. 78 to the Egger Joch. Via the Lichtsee trail no. 42, you will reach the beautifully situated Lichtsee lake in a wide arc and, after a further ascent, the Trunajoch. Enjoy one last view of the Zillertal and Stubai Alps from here before hiking back to Trins via the Trunahütte.

Sternspitze 2: Padasterjochhaus
From the end of the village of Trins, follow the hiking signs towards Padasterjochhaus. Keep left at the small chapel of St. Barbara and quickly gain altitude alongside the forest path. At a prominent crossroads (continue right to the Blaserhütte hut), follow meadow path no. 122. Once you reach forest path no. 577, you have the option of taking this path or the shorter Herrensteig path no. 7 towards Padasterjochhaus. Once you arrive at the oldest Naturfreundehaus, you should take the time to enjoy the breathtaking view of the Tux Alps and the Tribulaune from the hut terrace. Your destination for the day is framed by the beautiful panoramic peaks of Foppmandl, Wasenwand and Hammerspitze. Your way back more or less follows your ascent, and you can avoid some of the steeper sections of the Herrensteig via the forest path to protect your knees.
Variation: As you have already climbed almost 1,000 meters up to the Padasterjochhaus, we recommend that you complete today's tour with a detour to the Padasterkogel if you are motivated. The views down to the mountaineering village of Gschnitztal are sure to surprise you.

Sternspitze 3: Blaserhütte
From Trins you start in the direction of Hotel Zita, but at the first crossroads follow the hiking signs to Blaserhütte. At the edge of the forest, take trail no. 11/30 and hike in a few bends to the Adlerblick junction (approx. 5 minutes from the junction, beautiful view of Trins). Continue along hiking trail no. 11/30 quite steeply uphill through the forest, crossing a forest path a few times. At an altitude of approx. 1,800 meters, the forest thins out and you find yourself on sunny mountain meadows. The higher you climb past the Holzstadeln, the more the view opens up over the Wipptal valley, especially over the Gschnitztal valley. You now reach forest trail no. 523 and can decide at any time whether to follow this or the shorter trail no. 11/13. After approx. 3 hours you have reached the Blaserhütte, you are now in view of the Tribulaune, the Kirchdachspitze and the Peilspitze. After your well-earned rest at the Blaserhütte, follow your ascent route into the valley, but then keep to signpost no. 13 towards Pflutschwiesen. Before you reach Steinach, turn right and take hiking trail no. 13A back to Trins.
Variation: It is also worth climbing the last 65 meters up to the Blaser, from here you have a magnificent view over to the Serles and down to the Maria Waldrast monastery.
