Customised hikes - according to your wishes

In addition to our monthly programme, we also offer individually designed hikes.
Whether you want to walk alone or in a group - we can customise the tours to suit your requirements.

Here we have put together three of the many possibilities in the picturesque Gosau Valley for you. Let us inspire you!

Kasroas

Power of nature - Gosausee

An easy hike for the whole family.

We meet at the Gasthaus Gosausee on the Vorderer Gosausee (ample parking is available). After a short equipment check, we set off along the picturesque lakeshore - an impressive natural backdrop, nestled in the mountains of the Dachstein massif, with views of the Gosau Glacier and the majestic Gosaukamm.

During the hike, I share exciting information about glaciers, water, energy and the diverse natural and plant world of this region. We then head up to the Ebenalm, where we take a break and enjoy the view before hiking back to the starting point together.

Kasroas

Hornspitz tour

The chairlift takes you comfortably up to the middle station of the Hornspitz lift. From there, our route takes us past the picturesque Torfmoos and on towards Hornspitz. We pass old alpine huts and finally reach the rustic Zeishofalm, a ski hut that spoils us with delicious alpine delicacies. Again and again we are treated to marvellous views of the majestic Dachstein and the imposing Gosaukamm. The way back leads us via the idyllic Sommeraualmen back to the starting point.

Hallstatt

Torchlight hike

Gosau by night

A peaceful evening walk leads us through the snow-covered winter landscape to the Calvary. The soft glow of the torches accompanies us to the viewing point, where we enjoy a marvellous view of the glittering Gosau valley. If the sky is clear, we will experience an impressive starry sky and maybe even see a shooting star or two. Afterwards, we take a leisurely walk back to the starting point.
