Where you reach the turn for the Gosaubach Bridge, keep right. Pass the Vitalhotel Gosau and continue towards Mittertal, keeping to the right of the stream. Pass the Gosauerhof Inn. In Mittertal you cross the stream and return to the Sports Centre with the road on your right. Cross the main road. There now follows a rapid descent along the Lake Gosau road. When you reach the Hotel Sommerhof, cross the main road and the stream. We now follow the trail along the right hand side of the Gosau stream until we reach the former Gasthof Gamsjäger. Continue a little way until we reach a fork in the trail. Bear left here, cross the bridge and then cross the main road. The route continues along the other side of the road and alternates between gentle uphill and downhill sections towards Hintertal. We return via the main road, remaining at first on the right hand bank of the river. Just before we reach the Hornspitz ski lifts, we cross to the other side of the river. Continue past the large car park for the ski lift and a few houses. At the end of a long, straight section the trail crosses, for the last time, to the other side of the stream. Keep straight on for the Sports Centre. **[Download the Gosau Crosscountry trail map here...](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/fileadmin/user_upload/dachstein-salzkammergut/Pdf_Downloads/Langlaufen/Loipenplan_Gosau_2022_druck.pdf)** [**Experience a 360° panorama tour through Gosau valley…**](https://dachstein-panorama.at/?startscene=24&startactions=lookat(-15.97,6.85,91.35,0,0);) [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4824 Gosau **Destination:** 4824 Gosau **duration:** 2h 0m **length:** 10,9 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 26m **Lowest point:** 729m **Highest point:** 764m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Some Views **Paths covering:** snow **Starting point:** sports center Gosau **Destination:** sports center Gosau **further information:** - Circular route - Board possible **Details - Trail**- Nordic skiing facilities: Marked Nordic skiing run - Type of Nordic skiing run: Classic + skating - free [ ![Altitude profile Gosau Village Trail](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001555&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Gosau Village Trail](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001555&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Gosau Village Trail") [ Opening hours ](#ttgCollapseOeffnungszeiten) ------------------------------------------------ December to March, depending on the snow conditions [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- **Accessibility / arrival****by car** **from Salzburg:** Motorway exit Golling via B162 Abtenau and B166 to Gosau **from Linz:** Motorway exit Regau on Salzkammergut street B145 towards Gmunden and Bad Ischl to Bad Goisern, in Bad Goisern turn right onto B166, at the Gosaumühle junction turn right towards Gosau **from Vienna/Graz:** Motorway exit Liezen on the B320, in Trautenfels turn on Salzkammergut street B145 to Bad Aussee, turn on Koppen street through Obertraun and Hallstatt, at the Gosaumühle junction turn left towards Gosau **from Villach:** Tauern motorway to exit “Eben im Pongau”, via the B166 Pass Gschütt federal road to Gosau **by train** Attnang-Puchheim - Steinach-Irdning lines Arrival by train in "Steeg / Gosau" then continue with bus 541/542 in the direction Gosausee **By bus** Bus 470 (Abtenau - Gosau) direction Gosau, stop Gosau Abzw.
