Obvious freeride route directly from the slope to the gondola, yet plenty of room for your own ideas.

From the mountain station at Gaislachkogel, briefly follow the slope southwards and turn into the obvious cirque on the skier's left. Continue to follow the cirque and return to the middle station of the Gaislachkogel gondola. It is best to scout the various descent options from the gondola and at the entrance to the at least 40° steep east slope.

Author’s recommendation

Many different routes can be found from the gondola.
