    Enjoy a challenging high-altitude trail far away from the hustle and bustle in the breathtaking Alpine landscape!

    Start your cross-country tour at the top station of the Schlosskopf lift. Follow the trail to the viewpoint Tannegg and the valley station of the Weibermahd cable car. The well-prepared cross-country trail takes you to the Gaisbühel plateau, on to the Gaisbühelalpe and back to the bottom station of the Weibermahd cable car via a generous loop. On the laid out cross-country trail we return to the top station of the Schlosskopf lift.

    Alternatively, you can take the ski bus to Oberlech instead of the lift.
