Panoramic trail between the Gontalscharte and the Gamskogel Hut

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A promising section between the Gontalscharte and the Gamskogelhütte. One or the other chapel and some carved works of art can be found here.

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.

August 28, 2021,Kärnten 2021 - Gontalrunde am Katschberg am 28.08.2021

After the children wanted to go to the climbing garden, we - after we have "delivered" them there - made a nice round into the Gontal. Via the road to the Pritzhütte, we went over the Gontalscharte and the Gamskogelhütte back to the climbing garden to pick up the children again. The weather was also great. Except for a few …

May 24, 2025,Oberkatschberg Runde phantastisches Bergpanorama traumhaft schmale Pfade zur Gamskogelhütte

Start from the parking lot. Fantastic mountain views, and from about halfway up, there are wonderfully beautiful narrow paths with repeated, fantastic mountain panoramas all the way to the Gamskogelhütte. A truly fantastic loop, simply amazing. The descent from the Gamskogelhütte is a fantastic winter toboggan run.
