This 3-day hut-to-hut trek starts in Gosau and ends in Filzmoos, tracing the northern edge of the impressive Dachstein mountain range. The route is perfect for fit beginners with an appetite for adventure and follows clearly marked alpine trails through meadows and forests, with glacier-fed peaks such as the Hallstätter Gletscher in the distance. Don't forget to take pictures overlooking the beautiful Vorderer Gosausee!
You’ll spend your nights in two traditional Austrian huts: the scenic Gablonzerhütte and the mountain-framed Hofpürglhütte. Each day brings new landscapes and alpine vibes. On the final day, things step up with the Schwarzkogelsteig, an almost 5km T4-rated passage with exposure, views, and a true sense of mountain achievement.
Located between the Tennengebirge and the Steirisches Dachsteinplateau, just southeast of Salzburg and near the Styria border, this trek delivers beginner-accessible alpine magic with just the right touch of thrill.
