Beautiful climb with a mega panorama. Bring a helmet. Via ferrata set important (except for very experienced climbers)

At 2,142 m, the Große Gamsstein is a little below the Gilfert, but offers a great opportunity to pause for a moment on the way up and enjoy the great view of the Inn Valley. There is usually less going on here than at the Gilfert. If you want to skip the summit, you can also walk below it.

On the Gilfert you stand almost 2,000m above the Inn Valley. The summit is free and therefore you have a perfect 360 degree panorama.
