GRIES IM SULZTAL -> hamlet Winnebach -> Winnebachseehut -> GÄNSEKRAGEN
Moderate mountain trail; suitable for sure-footed and experienced mountain hikers; good physical condition, mountain experience, and mountain equipment (see under Equipment) necessary. Please observe the current weather report.
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing is 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 refreshment options, is necessary.
From the parking lot at the end of Gries, follow the road to Winnebach to take the trail towards Winnebachseehut. Soon the path leads out of the forest past numerous avalanche tracks. The well-constructed path twists steeply uphill at the end to the Winnebachseehut. From Winnebachseehut, walk west towards the supports of the material cable car. From there, the path leads up over the south flank of the Gänsekragen. At the southeast ridge, the path continues upwards over steep grassy terrain. Then briefly cross a rock gorge to the left side and go up again, staying to the right alongside rocky terrain. The last section of the summit hike goes steeply over large rock slabs to the summit cross.
Travel comfortably and safely by train. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL train station. Afterwards, you can travel easily and quickly with public transportation or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination.
