Selected alternatives for you
    This popular route in the Gastein Valley starts from the bustle of the Angertal ski center. After a short steep section in the forest, you can already enjoy the tranquility.

    The parking lot at the Angertal ski center is the starting point. Cold start in the steep forest after the children's lifts. In the Karteisenwald forest, walk comfortably west towards the plateau of the Gadauner Alm. Above the notch with a cross, ascend on the left side of the steep east-facing summit structure. On the flat summit plateau, head north to the summit of Kalkbretterkopf at 2,412 m. We enjoy the view and then the powder snow in the forest shade, cross a small bridge over the Lafenbach, and come over the ski slope to the “Angerblick” where refreshments are in order.

    Since the alpine pastures are not managed, at least in winter, bring plenty of snacks and especially drinks.

    Safety information

    Caution on the steep and often overhanging summit structure. Avalanche danger!

    Tips and suggestions

    Skiing down in the ascent area is the simplest and safest option; more fun is offered by the variant over the Laferbach, even though short uphill sections must be managed.

    Roadbook

    From the parking lot, aim for the trail marker "Wolfstall 1,200m." Then ascend the steep forest start and continue to the Gadauner Hochalm. Follow the ascent tracks to the already visible summit.
