The Gontalscharte is a short mountain saddle and connection between the 2024 m high Tschaneck and the beginning there ridge to Kareck. From here, a beautifully relaxed panoramic trail leads gently downhill to Gamskogelhütte back toward the place Katschberghöhe.

August 31, 2023,Sonnalmbahn Katschberg - Kareck (2481) - Pritzhütte

Very nice tour! Highly recommended, especially in this direction, as the view along the ridge path in the direction of Kareck is beautiful. The ridge path itself has earned the level of difficulty T3, but is very easy to hike on. At one point or another you are quite close to the abyss. Therefore, you should be free from giddiness …

At the beginning a bit on asphalt, then a great summit tour with a panorama for hours! The ridge path is easier this way, because then you can go up the one somewhat difficult rock and the subsequent ladder (just a few steps). Also, the way to bypass the jump is easier to see from here.

Unfortunately, I didn't make it to Karneck over the ridge. The ladder was the end of the route - also because the weather had changed.
