HIKING
Along with the distinctive moorland landscape, you can relish the view of the Gastlosen’s rugged rock formations.

With its seven stations, the Bruchmandli adventure trail provides families with a travel experience by telling the story of the diverse local habitat and the gnome Bruchmandli. The green pastures of the Bäderalp is about a 40-minute walk from the pass and offers a beautiful view of the Wildstrubel mountain peak and the surrounding mountain scenery.
CLIMBING
Without a doubt, the Gastlosen mountain range is one of the most beautiful climbing areas in the heart of Europe, featuring many exciting climbing routes with various degrees of difficulty. The Gastlosen range offers you numerous climbing routes on various faces and mountain peaks. Explore the many kilometres long limestone mountain range. The north face is home to experienced climbers in summer and features routes ranging from one to several pitches.
