Austriaweg & SalzAlpenSteig

To walk around the entire Gosaukamm, you can use the popular hiking trail "Austriaweg". The Donnerkogelbahn Annaberg takes you up to 1,475 m above sea level. From there you reach the Austriaweg (trail no. 611) via Zwieselalm (trail no. 50) and hike to the cosy Stuhlalm or Theodor-Körner Hütte, which invite you to a comfortable rest. Return via trail no. 54 into the Astauwinkeltal valley to the valley station of the Donnerkogel cable car. Or you can continue to the Hofpürglhütte and hike around the entire Gosaukamm.

At the top of the mountain you will reach the long-distance hiking trail "SalzAlpenSteig", which leads to Gosau via the Herrenweg. Alternatively, you can descend via the SalzAlpenTour to Russbach (trail no. 46).

Note: Depending on your physical condition and hiking tour, a hike on the "Austriaweg" and "Salzalpensteig" trail can take several hours! Plan an overnight stay in a mountain/shelter hut for longer tours.

The cosy Rottenhofhütte invites you to enjoy delicacies and specialities from regional production.

Before that, the Donnerkogelbahn Annaberg will bring you a little closer to the imposing mountains in the 1,475 m high alpine pasture area.
