Way of St James in Tirol

[efdoucette]

Hello all,

I have read of a Camino trail through the Tirol region of Austria.
This is what I have been able to find, very informative
https://www.tyrol.com/things-to-do/sports/hiking/hiking-tours/a-way-of-st-james

Is anyone aware of further information, maybe a guidebook?

Best regards
Eric

I know there are several books. Try searching Jakobsweg Tirol or Osterreich and you will find several books. These are in German.

Some info on this forum as well

EDIT: And when you research, google for 'Jakobsweg' with a k instead of a c for better results.

The Tirol route comes from Salzburg, and I know there is a pilgrim office in Salzburg, near the cathedral.

Just a note...South Tyrol is actually part of Italy...Alto Adige.

Quite right. I have removed the post.

The route from South Tyrol goes into the southern part of the Austrian alps through the Brenner pass...up to Innsbruck where it joins the western route at the church of St. James in Innsbruck and then heads west in the direction of Landeck. There is a paucity of inexpensive albergues In comparison to Spain. The route through Southern Tyrol and particularly through The Brenner pass is stunning.

Just be prepared for a lot of paved roads. And it is difficult to find cheap places to sleep less then 35 km apart.
