  • Directions

    From the mountain station of the Kristbergbahn, the path leads us downhill into the valley with constant ups and downs to Wildried – one of the highest raised bogs in Europe. After a short downhill section begins the ascent to Gretschalpe on a wide gravel path. Just behind the alpine hut, the climb gets quite steep, passing Gretschsee lake up to Lobspitze. From the mountain summit, we have a magnificent panorama of the Silbertal valley, which more than rewards us for the effort. We return on the same route to the starting point.
