Moderately difficult mountain trail; suitable for sure-footed and experienced mountain hikers; good physical condition, mountain experience, and mountain equipment (see under equipment) necessary. Please check the current weather report at: www.oetztal.com/en/summer.html
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-adapted outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain, and sun protection, a hat, and possibly gloves are required for all hikes and routes. Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without dining options, is necessary.From the middle station of the Gaislachkogl cable car, a wide gravel path leads uphill over the ski slope to the Gaislachkogl. Where the alpine meadows bloom, you encounter native grazing animals such as sheep, cows, and horses. Along the idyllic mountain slopes, which are hardly recognizable in winter as a ski slope, the path leads uphill and over the Wasserkar to the Gaislachkogl. This beautiful, moderately difficult hike offers an authentic mountain experience with a magnificent view along the route.
