The Gontalscharte is a short mountain saddle and connection between the 2024 m high Tschaneck and the beginning there ridge to Kareck. From here, a beautifully relaxed panoramic trail leads gently downhill to Gamskogelhütte back toward the place Katschberghöhe.

Gamskogel Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Gamskogelhütte is located at 1850m above sea level on the Katschberg directly on the border between Salzburg and Carinthia.
It is easily accessible in summer and winter (in summer also by car) and offers homemade delicacies with the best regional ingredients, also a magnificent view.
