Below the Gerlosstein and the Freikopf there are lush alpine meadows that are full of flowers in spring and summer. Their biodiversity is enormous and the mountain panorama all around is truly unique.

July 10, 2026,Gerlossteinwand, 2166 m (Gerlossteinbahn Bergstation - Gerlossteinbahn Bergstation)

Since I have strong muscle soreness from the last two tours, only a half-day tour with a cable car was planned for today. This tour to the Gerlossteinwand seemed well-suited for it. You have to overcome about 500 meters of altitude on manageable mountain paths to reach the summit. Since the weather finally cooperated today, there were beautiful views of …

September 6, 2021,Über den Gerlosstein und auf die Steinkarspitze - Reloaded 2021

Today repeated my favorite tour from last year: Up with the Gerlossteinbahn and from there to the Gerlosstein (2166 m) and then to the Steinkarspitze (2290 m). This year the weather was a touch better and so you could enjoy the magnificent view from the Steinkarspitze in the sun for a long time. Of course we stuffed ourselves full of …

October 19, 2023,Gerlosstein – Blick zum Gerlosstein Runde von Hainzenberg

This tour takes 3 hours. In some places it is so steep that you have to use your hands and feet to find support. Once you reach the top you have a dream view. The descent over the rear saddle is then more pleasant. I would do the tour like this again because I imagine the descent would be even …

September 1, 2025,Gerlossteinwand Rundweg 🇦🇹

Phew, what a hike! 🥵 Every meter of elevation gain was hard-won today. 💪🏻 What Komoot and another hiking platform advertised as "moderate" for hikers with average fitness had me skeptical beforehand, given the amount of elevation gain. Nevertheless, we took the Gerlosstein cable car up, and from there we hiked through alpine terrain to the summit cross. We reached …

October 20, 2022,Wanderung Gerlossteinwand

The Gerlossteinwand is one of the most striking peaks in the Zillertal. Rugged edges and slopes. From the mountain station of the Gerlosbahn there is a moderately difficult circular route that we actually wanted to go the other way around. So we went up the flatter path and down the sometimes very steep one. Since the stones were worn and …

After the road bike tour on the Gerlosberg, a day later the Hutterlaner via ferrata (unfortunately forgot to record it) today the Gerlosstein. I tackled the route in exactly the right direction - I went up the steeper and more difficult path to the summit cross. Then down the easier way.
