We meet at the hotel in Munich, where you also stay for the final night of the tour. This means you can conveniently leave any extra luggage safely stored at the hotel. We have a pre-tour briefing where we discuss the packing list to ensure everyone is well prepared, and then venture out for dinner afterwards at one of the lovely restaurants in the vibrant city of Munich.

6 km, ↑700 m, ↓50 m, 3 hrs walking time (not including breaks)

A shuttle brings us to the small village of Mühltal, where our hike to Meißner Haus begins. The trail follows a gravel path gently uphill through a peaceful river valley until the hut comes into view on a wide green meadow. After arrival, we settle into our rooms and meet in the yoga shala or on the private terrace for an opening circle.

In the Alpine regions, the summer solstice is traditionally celebrated with mountain fires. On the evening of June 21, local communities light fires and create glowing symbols along ridgelines and mountain peaks. These fires mark the height of summer and are meant to offer protection, express gratitude, and celebrate the power of nature.

In the morning, we set off on a shorter hike, leaving the afternoon free to rest and unwind. After dinner, we head back out for a gentle uphill walk to the Boscheben Hut (around one hour), perched on the ridge behind our base. From there, it’s just another 15 minutes to a hidden viewpoint overlooking the entire Northern Ridge above Innsbruck.

We settle in and watch as the traditional solstice bonfires begin to light up the mountains one by one. While we wait, I’ll guide a calming meditation to set our intentions, followed by heart-warming mantras accompanied by the soft sounds of my ukulele. As darkness falls, we slowly and mindfully make our way back down to the hut under the night sky.

We leave the itinerary flexible during the week so we can choose the best adventures based on the weather, conditions, and the group's energy. There will also be the option for a rest day. Here are some of the options for the week:

Boscheben (2035 m) - easy

2 km, ↑↓ 350 m, 2 hrs

Just behind Meißner Haus, a peaceful path winds gently through a quiet pine forest, leading us to the cosy Boscheben hut. There, guests can relax with a cup of coffee, enjoy some delicious cakes, and sink into the comfy sun loungers. If some are up for a little extra adventure, we can take a short hike to the peak of Patscherkofel (2246 m), which takes about an hour, and then return to the hut to join the rest of the group for coffee and a well-deserved rest.

Profeglalm (1809 m) - easy

5 km, ↑↓ 300 m, 2 hrs

On the hike to Profeglalm we can choose a shorter, steeper direct path or a longer, more gradual forest road, or take one on the way there and the other one on the way back. The hut offers traditional Austrian mountain cuisine and is known for its cheese pasta and dumplings.

Blue lake (2235 m) - medium

10 km, ↑↓ 650 m, 4-5 hrs, 8 hours in total

The hike starts on an easy gravel path following the river valley before narrowing into a charming panoramic hiking trail. At the end of the valley, we reach a series of small blue lakes—perfect for a refreshing swim. We enjoy a calming meditation by the water, with plenty of time to relax and soak up the sun. Afterwards, we make our way back along the same route.

Signalkopf (2175 m) – medium

4 km, ↑↓ 480 m, 3 hrs

The hike to Signalkopf is short in distance but steep, following a narrow mountain trail—but it is well worth the effort as you pass through blooming alpine rose bushes along the way. At the summit, you are rewarded with breathtaking views of the Austrian glaciers along the main alpine ridge and a peaceful spot that’s perfect for a guided meditation.

Glungezer (2610 m) – medium to difficult

12 km, ↑↓ 950 m, 5 hrs

The route to Glungezer starts the same way as the hike to the Blue lakes. Yet, at some point we turn and hike up the steadily steep slope to the peak. Next to the cross is a hut run by some Nepalese and offering traditional Nepalese cuisine, i.e. Momos, which is a special treat. On the way down we can follow a different route through larch and pine forests, and alpine rose bushes either passed the river again or even extend it and passing Boscheben for later afternoon cake. The route is technically not difficult and not very steep, but a round trip from Meissner Haus is quite long, hence slightly difficult.

Viggarspitze (2306 m) – difficult

7.5 km, ↑↓ 650 m, 3.5 hrs

The hike to Viggarspitze starts passing Boscheben and follows the scenic Zirbenweg through larch and pine forests. It then ascends a small and little steep trail to the summit with stunning panoramic views over Innsbruck and the Inn Valley. The way down leads us via a different route through alpine rose bushes, past the river near the hut that invites a swim. There is also the option to just go to a higher viewpoint below the peak, which misses the last steep ascent and offers equally beautiful views over the Inn Valley.

Morgenkogel (2607 m) – difficult

10 km, ↑↓ 980 m, 5 hrs

On this hike we pass the viewpoint of Signalkopf and continue, where the trail gradually opens up into high alpine meadows. The last section becomes steeper and more rugged, with a mix of grass, big boulders, and occasional scree. The summit ridge is broad and easy to navigate, leading to the cross-marked peak of Morgenkogel. On the way down we can follow a different route either straight back to Meissner Haus or via Profeglalm.

The Rest day is usually somewhere in the middle of the week. After breakfast, we gather in the yoga shala for a long, deep yoga session designed to calm the mind and nourish the body. The rest of the day is free to enjoy at a gentle pace—whether that means soaking up the sun on the hut’s peaceful terrace, taking a refreshing swim in the nearby river where it opens into a quiet lake, or simply sitting quietly and appreciating the natural surroundings. Shortly before or after dinner, we come together once more on the private sun terrace for a soothing Yin yoga class, helping to fully unwind and connect with oneself. Joining one or both yoga classes is entirely optional.

6 km, ↑50 m, ↓700 m, 2 hrs

On our final day, we enjoy a leisurely lie-in before gathering after breakfast for our reflection and closing circle on the sun terrace, followed by a visual recap of our hiking week and sharing our most memorable moments. After a relaxed lunch, we make our way down to the village of Mühltal, where a shuttle will take us back to Munich.

We wrap up our hiking week with a warm, celebratory dinner the evening before. Everyone can start their homeward journey at any time today.
