Gaistal in Summer – Hiking & Biking in Region Seefeld
The starting point is the Salzbach parking area (P3, P4, P5) in the western part of Leutasch. From there, you do not head into the valley initially, but follow the paved road back toward the Klamm district. At the “Fiakerstüberl”, the route turns north and continues along local roads until reaching the forest road entrance.

From this point, the actual ascent begins: a consistently moderately steep, rideable gravel road through dense forest, with many shaded sections and occasional rest spots. The route has been newly constructed in recent years and climbs in switchbacks as well as longer, gentler stretches.

Above the tree line, at the junction about 100 meters below the Wettersteinhütte (not serviced) and the Wangalm, the tour becomes significantly more alpine.

Here:
  • bike must be left behind
  • final section on foot
  • very steep and coarse-gravel terrain.
The path is clearly signposted. After about 10 minutes of walking, you pass the closed Wettersteinhütte and continue following the markings toward the Wangalm.

The Wangalm, at 1,753 m, offers expansive views over the Gaistal  Valley and the surrounding mountains
