Der Gams in Wildalpen

Short but steep and adventurous ascent with a fantastic view of Wildalpen!

At the bus stop Kollerbrücke, an inconspicuous little path goes very steeply up the mountain.

The path is not very long, but it is steep and difficult to walk. After about 20 minutes, the path branches off to the right (the way back is on the left), after a few careful steps along the grade, you will be standing in front of the Gams!

Please do not climb the structure.

On the way down, turn right at the fork and follow the path until you reach a meadow, there turn left again into the forest and follow the path downhill until you cross the Säusenbach stream and reach the road. After a few minutes you are back at the main road and the collier bridge at the Salzatalhof.
