Tagestour Übelbach - Zitoll

A one-day hike from Übelbach to Zitoll (or vice versa) with rustic mountain huts and magnificent views. If you run out of steam on this hike, simply call a GUSTmobil minivan.
Wonderful forest paths and extensive meadows … This hike offers a beautiful view from the Gmoaalm mountain pasture onto the surrounding mountains. If you’re doing this hike in the opposite direction and still have the energy, you could extend the hike with a detour to the Fensteralm mountain pasture.
