Routing:
1st day: Individual arrival in Gosau a. Dachstein
The Gosau Valley is one of the most magnificent mountain areas in the Northern Alps and experiences its brilliant conclusion with the two Gosau Lakes at the end of the valley. One of the most impressive panoramas that the Dachstein has to offer is seen from here, the so-called Gosauseeblick. In 1997, the impressive region on the Dachstein was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. At the accommodation in Gosau you will receive your detailed travel documents.
(1 night in Gosau)
 
2nd day: Breathtaking scenery on the Zwieselalm
From the Kalvarienberg in Gosau, the so-called Herrenweg leads quite comfortably uphill. Small streams are crossed again and again. Over forest paths and wet meadows, the route leads past several alpine huts to the Zwieselalm, where horses graze in addition to cows in summer. A unique panorama with the Dachstein glacier, the rock towers of the Gosaukamm and Lake Gosau now spreads out before your eyes. The Zwieselalmhütte, which was once visited by Empress Sisi and where cooking is still done without electricity, is quaint. For the night, we now head to the 1,522-meter-high hospitable Gablonzerhütte, including a magnificent view of the Dachstein with Gosau, Torstein and Schneeloch glaciers. This picture is framed by the wildly jagged towers of the Gosaukamm, especially the ‘Große Donnerkogel’.
(1 night at the Gablonzerhütte; the luggage with hut sleeping bag for 1 night must be brought along.)
Hiking: 4 1/2 hours (approx. 9 km, ascent: 890 m in height / descent: 123 m in height)
 
3rd day: Over alpine pastures and rocky paths below the imposing Gosaukamm
From the Gablonzerhütte, follow the Austria Trail, first over steeper flower meadows to the Upper Törlecksattel. Then it continues slightly downhill on the south side of the Große Donnerkogel and through mountain pine fields, forest and through rocky grassy slopes to the Stuhlalm. Again and again, beautiful views of the High Tauern and the peaks of the Gosaukamm are inspiring. From here it is another 1/2 hour to the Theodor-Körner-Hütte, hidden in the forest.
(Luggage - hut sleeping bag - for the night at the Theodor-Körner-Hütte you have to take yourself during the hike)
(1 night at the Theodor-Körner-Hütte)
Hiking: 2 hours (approx. 4 km, ascent: 114 m height / descent: 217 m in height)
 
4th day: On the scenic Austriaweg, part of the European long-distance hiking trail E4
From the Theodor-Körner-Hütte it goes a little back to the Stuhlalm. Today's hike again is very varied: first there is a steeper section of the trail to master, then the trail winds slightly up and down through mountain pine alleys and boulders and offers excellent views of the jagged ridge of the Gosaukamm again and again. On the Sulzkaralm, which is located a little lower, hikers are offered fresh milk, butter and homemade cheeses. With a little luck, you will discover a special orchid species in early summer, the sweet-scented orchid. At the center of the hiking route that follows is the view of the Bischofsmütze, whose striking double summit rises high above the Austriaweg. Then the huge boulder of the Torstein comes into view - it is the westernmost peak of the Dachstein triumvirate. Soon the Hofpürglhütte can also be seen on its dream spot at an altitude of a good 1,700 meters and thus also the overnight place is reached.
(Luggage - hut sleeping bag - for the night at the Hofpürglhütte you have to take yourself during the hike)
(1 night at the Hofpürglhütte)
Hiking: 2-3 hours (approx. 6 1/2 km, ascent: 339 m in height / descent: 97 m in height)

5th day: In the realm of the Filmoos alpine pastures
From the Hofpürglhütte you start the descent into the valley to Filzmoos via the Wastl-Lackner-Steig. This trail was named after a long-time landlord of the Hofpürglhütte and winds its way down to the Hofalmen between pine trees and sparse forest. The Oberhofalm is one of the historic alpine pastures in the Filzmoos area, it can already look back on a 350-year tradition of alpine farming. The path continues past the Almsee. Via the Mandlinghofalm and the Löckenwaldgraben, the route continues to the center of the summer and winter sports resort of Filzmoos, originally a pure alpine pasture area. At the end of today's mountain stage, visit a café or inn in Filzmoos before taking a taxi back to the starting point in Gosau.
(1 night in Gosau)
Hike: approx. 5-6 hours (12 km, ascent: 278 m in height / descent: 1,614 m in height)
           
6th day: Individual departure from the mountaineering village of Gosau
For all those who want to spend even more time in the Gosau Valley, additional nights can be reserved. For example, a visit to a moor is a good idea. A well-signposted path leads to the edge of a ceiling bog that is unique in Austria. Take your time here to walk over the wooden footbridges to the quiet Löckernmoossee.
Otherwise, you will start your return journey from the well-known Dachstein area today.
