At Gamsspitzl, a cheeky rocky peak between Obersulzbach and Krimmler Kees, after a glacier-free ascent, one experiences the grandeur and beauty of the two glaciers with their massive break zones and crevasse systems, which reach close to the summit on the east side. The Krimmler Kees is one of the most constant glaciers in the Eastern Alps in terms of its size. Großvenediger and Dreiherrnspitze, two flagship peaks of the Eastern Alps, impressively showcase themselves along with their neighbors, and over the front of Achental, Gabler and Reichenspitze dominate the scenery. The hiking route is located exclusively in the core zone of the national park.
Immediately behind the hut, follow a path (trail 902) over a steep grassy and block ridge, later also over glacial polish, scree, and rock up to the base of the Gamsspitzl summit structure. Halfway, the path is marked by an unmistakable cairn in the shape of a large, pointed stone tooth. Finally, you ascend directly to the ridge edge and most easily reach the summit cross on the narrow path to the left of the ridge. The descent follows exactly the ascent route.
