Gamskogel 2813m - Längenfeld/Gries

The parking lot at the edge of town offers an ideal starting point. To cross to the other side of the Fischbach river, walk a few meters downhill directly behind the parking lot to the small wooden bridge that is crossed. Past the Tiroler Hütte, through meadows, begins the steep ascent to Nisslalm. In narrow, steep switchbacks, the narrow path winds up through the forest, crossing the forest road several times. A more comfortable but longer access to the alpine pasture is via the forest road. Upon reaching Nisslalm, the trail continues behind the alpine pasture, slightly ascending to beautiful grassy areas. The next section leads steeply over stone slabs and stretches over grassy ridges to the east ridge. For the summit ascent in steep, rocky terrain, another hour is needed. The view from the summit cross is breathtaking. You can overlook large parts of the Ötztal, from the Inn valley to the glaciated peaks in the innermost valley.
