Hiking region Gosau
Starting from the Gosausee, the cable car takes you up to the Zwieselalm hiking region, which is the starting point for numerous hiking and climbing tours. There you will be fascinated by the spectacular view of the imposing rocky peaks of the Gosaukamm, the crystal-clear Gosausee and the imposing Dachstein glacier. On the Zwieselalm, well-marked paths suitable for prams lead across lush alpine meadows and through green mountain forests to the inviting alpine huts.
Experienced mountain enthusiasts can enjoy the via ferrata and will be just as happy here as leisurely hikers and people who like to take a break in the huts. On marked hiking trails you can't get lost and enjoy the silence of the mountain.
