The Gaisjoch is known as the mountain of the chamois and offers a varied circular hike with extensive views and alpine experiences. Whether you are walking along the ridge or stopping at one of the mountain huts, the tour combines a sporting challenge with an immersive experience in nature.
You start at the car park in the Altfasstal valley (Meransen) and follow the signs to the Großberghütte. From there, trail no. 15B leads uphill across the west-facing grassy slope. After a gentle ascent, you reach trail no. 13A, which takes you up to the ridge. Continue along trail no. 13 to the summit of the Gaisjoch at 2,641 metres.
For the descent, follow trail no. 13B down to the unmanaged Walderjochalm. Continue to the Wieserhütte or Pranterstadelhütte, where you can stop for a break. From there, return to the car park either on foot along trail no. 15 through the Altfasstal valley or with a bicycle rented from the huts.
