    The route starts directly at the Obertauern Tourism Association. From there, you first walk through the town towards the Zehnerkarbahn and follow the signs uphill. After a short but steep ascent, you reach the mountain station of the Zehnerkarbahn.

    From here begins the scenic part of the hike: Along a narrow ridge path, it steadily goes uphill to the Gamsleitenspitze (2,359 m). Once at the top, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view over the Radstädter Tauern and the Obertauern area – a true summit experience!

    The return route is the same or down via the G2 mountain station.
