Berggasthof der über eine Mautstraße leicht erreichbar ist.

Die Griesner Alm ist im Sommer ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für die Wander-, Berg- und Klettertouren auf der Nordseite des Wilden Kaiser. Im Winter ist es ebenso ein Startpunkt für den Skitourenklassiker, besonders im Frühjahr in das Griesnerkar.

Public transport

Vom Intercitybahnhof Kufstein mit dem Bus Nr. 4030 nach Kössen und weiter mit dem Bus Nr. 4000 nach Griesenau. Leider verlängert sich die Tour erheblich, um bis zum eigentlichen Ausgangspunkt an die Griesner Alm zu gehen.

Directions

Vom Inntal (Innsbruck) kommend die A12 in Wörgl Ost verlassen und auf der B178 über Scheffau und Going nach St. Johann in Tirol. Hier links ab in die B176 in die Griesenau.

Von Westen (München) kommend am Autobahnkreuz in Rosenheim auf die A93 und diese in Niederndorf verlassen. Nun auf der B173 nach Kössen.

Von Osten (Salzburg) kommend die A8 an der Ausfahrt Grabenstätt verlassen und über Grassau, Marquartstein und Schleching nach Kössen. Von hier nach Süden weiter in die Griesenau.

In der Griesenau nach Westen und auf der Mautstraße zur Griesner Alm. Die Mautstraße ist jährlich je nach Schneelage circa von Mitte Januar bis Ende Februar gesperrt. Die Mautgebühr beträgt 4,- EUR (Stand 2019).

Parking

Direkt unterhalb der Griesner Alm befindet sich ein sehr großer kostenloser Parkplatz.
