A leisurely family walk from the Gsollkehre to the idyllically situated Gsollalm at the foot of the Frauenmauer.
The walk from Gsollkehre to Gsollalm is a short, family-friendly route through the stunning mountain landscape around Eisenerz.
From Gsollkehre on the B115, the footpath leads steadily uphill to the Gsollalm, situated at 1,201 metres above sea level. The route runs mainly along a forest track through woodland and alpine pastures, making it particularly suitable for a leisurely walk.
After around 45 minutes, you’ll reach the Gsollalm at the foot of the striking Frauenmauer. The alpine hut is not only a popular destination but also a starting point for numerous further mountain hikes in the western Hochschwab.
During the opening season (15. Juni - 15.September), it’s well worth stopping for refreshments at the rustic alpine hut. Among other things, traditional alpine snacks made with regional and home-made produce are served.
During the alpine grazing season, the Gsollalm is home to suckler cows and young cattle. You should keep a safe distance from grazing animals and refrain from feeding them.
