Hiking to the "Gosaunet-Platzerl" on the Zwieselalm
Hiking to the Panorama Square
We would like to take you on this hike to one of the most beautiful places on the Zwieselalm in Gosau. The almost thirty-minute tour is a hike for everyone. We have compiled all information such as prices and travel times of the cable car for you under "Information at a glance".
From the mountain station of the Gosaukammbahn, the well-signposted hiking trail no. 49 leads with slight inclines to the Gablonzerhütte and Breininghütte on to the Sonnenalm and up to the Zwieselalmhöhe to the Gosaunet-Platzerl, from where you can enjoy the fantastic 360° panoramic view of the Dachstein, Gosaukamm and Salzburger Land.
And the nice thing about this tour is that the ascent to the Dachstein-West hiking world on the Zwieselalm with the Gosaukamm cable car is child's play.
Gosaunet-Platzl
The Gosaunet-Platzerl on the Zwieselalm height above the Sonnenalm offers a 360° panoramic view and is a popular spot for resting and souvenir photos.
