Description

GRIES -> Vögelas bridge -> Nisslalm junction -> SULZTALALM

The path is very icy in the morning!

Map & elevation profile

GRIES -> Vögelas bridge -> Nisslalm junction -> SULZTALALM

The path is very icy in the morning!

From the parking lot at the outskirts of Gries, the path leads almost flat through deep snowy meadows to the Vögelas bridge.  From here, a clear incline becomes noticeable. After three more hairpin bends, follow the signs in the direction of Sulztalalm, leaving the junction to Nisslalm on the right. The Fischbach stream, which arises from several springs in the Sulze, as well as "the queen of the Alps," the stone pine, accompany you to the Sulztalalm.  

Author's tip

The ascent path is also the toboggan run. Take advantage of the opportunity - rent a sled from the hut host and ride back to Gries.
