Paths covering:
This tour takes about two hours from the mountain station of the cable car to the top.
Bear right here and continue to the "Laerchenkogel" at the foot of the Donnerkogel. Follow the route along the base of the Donnerkogel, through an expanse of larch trees, until you reach the Gablonzer Hut (serviced mountain hut) in about 2 hours. After a short break here, follow trail 601 A through gentle mountain pastures up to the Oberen Toerleck ("Upper Toerleck") at the foot of the Kleiner Donnerkogel ("Little Donnerkogel").
Now the route ascends a little more, and when you reach the Unterer Toerlecksattel ("Lower Toerleck") saddle, bear left and follow the steep and somewhat abandoned-looking path to the summit (number 628). 2 hours later you will be standing on the summit, and as a reward for all your efforts, there are breath taking, 360 degree panoramic views towards the lower Gosau lake, the Dachstein glacier, and the little farmhouses of the Lammertal valley in the Salzburg Province.
Follow the same route back down to Gosau. Treat yourself to some refreshments in one of the numerous mountain huts along the way, or even to a dip in the Gosau lake! More intrepid mountaineers can attempt to climb the Donnerkogel as part of the Intersport Donnerkogel Climbing Event (C-D).
Experience a 360° panorama tour through Gosau valley...
