Poserhöhe
Directly in front of the house we start in the direction of Kötschachtal. Then the path leads through a forest, where we are accompanied by numerous signs with wisdom up to the alp. The ascent is steep, but afterwards you will be rewarded with fantastic views and the best Kaiserschmarrn of the Gastein Valley.

Gratwanderung Stubnerkogel – Miesbichlscharte – Sportgastein
We take the Stubnerkogel cable car up to 2000 meters above sea level, where we hike along the ridge towards Sportgastein. We cross many scree fields and with a little luck we catch sight of native alpine marmots. Over the Zittauer Tisch we go to the Miesbichlscharte and from there downhill over the Bockhartsee. A cozy stop for refreshments awaits us there before we finish the hike in Sportgastein.
