    Turn-by-turn directions

    You can start your hike to the Gaislachalmen from the Stiegele parking lot. (Crossing Gaislach / Hochsölden).

    As an alternative starting point, take the Zentrum Shuttle and follow the Ausserwaldstraße towards Innerwald.

    A direct path leads via Innerwaldstraße to Infang, where you can start your hike.

    From there you follow the forest road, which is relatively flat at first and then steeper all the way up to the first bend. The path often proceeds parallel to the ski run.

    Continue to follow the marked trail through partly dense forest, slightly uphill to the Gaislachalmen.

    After several turns you first reach the Alpengasthof Sonneck. From there you continue to the Gaislachalm and then to Silbertal.

    Take the same route back down to the valley.
