The Watzmann-Gugel may not be a real summit, but the high plateau offers a magnificent view and is not too demanding for the most part. However, individual passages should be tackled with caution, especially in icy conditions.

Author’s recommendation

The tour is quite popular - if you long for untouched deep snow, it's best to set off early!
