The Inntaler Höhenweg (Inntal High Trail) is a hiking trail in Tyrol in western Austria, approximately 74 km (46 mi) long, between the cities Innsbruck in the west and Schwaz in the east. It is very easily accessible by public transport, as Innsbruck has an airport and is the man traffic hub between Germany and Italy. The starting point of the official trail can be reached with a cable car from Innsbruck. More ambitious hikers can access it by climbing up the elevation gain of ca. 1000 m (3280 ft).

Description

Mount Apo (2954m) meaning ‘grandfather’ or ‘master’ in local dialect is the highest mountain and volcano in the Philippines. Although Mount Apo has had no recorded eruptions in its history, it is still considered to be an active volcano. There are 4 known trails to pick from, all of which are steep climbs. The fit should be able to summit it in 5 or 6 hours. So far we only have the route from Colan Campsite to the southeast of the mountain. The route reaches the true summit in about 7.5km, with about 1675m of elevation gain.

Description

Submitted by Ramon Krebs, with the specific intent that this route can be linked by public transport (start & end at train stations):

A ridge, very technical and with a breathtaking view. The path is only partially marked, but is easy, always along the ridge... However, it is important to be able to move safely in technical terrain. In addition, easy climbing passages should not be an obstacle.
