Description

The ski tour to the Gaiskogel in the Kühtai-Sellraintal region offers an impressive alpine experience. The starting point is at the mountain station of the Drei-Seen cable car, which makes the first part of the ascent easier. From there, the route leads through a flat cirque before a steep ascent to the Gaiskogelscharte - good hairpin bend technique and fitness are required here.

After the saddle, the route continues on foot along a narrow ridge to the summit. This section is often overgrown and requires surefootedness. Once at the top, an impressive panorama with a real Western Alps feeling rewards the effort.
