The hike leads from the lake Gosau up to the "Zwieselalmhöhe". After the Gasthof Gosausee, turn right towards the Seeklausalm, but before that turn right onto hiking trail W 620. The serpentine path leads steeply uphill for the most part, past the Krautgartenhütte (1,266 m). Keep right at the junction and continue on hiking trail W 620 until you finally reach the cable car and the Zwieselalm. After approx. 1 hour 30 minutes you will see the beautiful alpine pasture. There you can then enjoy the huts with the overwhelming view of the mighty peaks of the Gosaukamm, King Dachstein, the Vorderer Gosausee and the surrounding mountains.

The easy variant takes you up to the Zwieselalm with the Gosaukammbahn.
