The Gosau Lakes lie like two jewels, nestled at the foot of the Dachstein and framed by the spectacular Gosaukamm. For trail runners, there is, among other routes, this loop which takes us not only around the front Gosausee but also back to the Holzmeisteralm at the rear GosauseeDirections:
We start at Gasthaus Gosausee, from where you already have a beautiful view of the Gosausee and the surrounding mountain scenery. Once a year, the Gosausee loop run starts here, which circles the front Gosausee over a distance of a little more than 4 km (but at 1000m elevation). We turn right and run along forest roads by the lake shore to the rear end of the front Gosausee. From here, we increasingly run through denser forest, which occasionally clears, and we reach the Gosaulacke. The high rock faces and sunshine on beautiful days are reflected in the blue-green water. The path leads us straight ahead on forest roads, but now with more inclines. The last incline before we leave the forest again is the steepest. However, we are rewarded after about 200m altitude gain with an incredible view. With renewed enthusiasm, we run for a refreshment to the Holzmeisteralm at the rear end of the lake. The fresh Kaiserschmarrn is especially popular here.
After the refreshment, we return the same way. In the alpine area after the Gosaulacke, the path now branches, and this time we follow the other shore. We continue running, beneath us at the shore runs a short practice via ferrata, then we reach the Gosausee road, which leads us directly back to the starting point.

The Sonnenalm is located in the middle of the skiing and hiking region Dachstein West in a sunny position at about 1600m above sea level, just below the mountain station of the Panorama Jets Zwieselalm. And the name comes not by chance: our sheltered sun terrace with about 250 seats invites summer and winter to linger and offers a breathtaking view of the Dachstein Glacier and the mountain worlds of the Gosaukamm and the Tennengebirge. And on particularly beautiful days you can even see the Grossglockner - the highest mountain in Austria - from the terrace. Our cozy sun loungers invite you to relax. If the weather does not play along or if the temperatures do not allow it, you can enjoy our cozy dining room with tiled stove as well as the conservatory with a total of approx. 130 seats inside the Sonnenalm. Even for those who feel less comfortable on two boards, our hut is within easy reach of a 50 m walk from the top station of the Panorama Jet. In summer, after a 15-minute Alpine walk from the Gosaukamm cable car, we are the perfect place for a cozy retreat. We are happy to pamper you with all sorts of home-made delicacies and a wide range of drinks, a liqueur or home-brewed schnapps to conclude of course there must not be missing. On the Sonnenalm we welcome you in the winter from about mid-December to Easter and in summer from mid-June to mid-October. Tradition and hospitality are our top priority. Take a look and see for yourself. We look forward to seeing
The rustic, comfortable, approx. 300-year-old alpine hut is the ideal destination for hikers. Here you will find peace and relaxation - which was already worth a visit for the young Empress Sisi. At the Zwieselalmhütte, Austrian dishes are served, which are still prepared on the wood stove.
The best way to get to the Alm from Annaberg is with the Donnerkogelbahn, from where you can hike comfortably for an hour across the Almboden to the hut. Tip: Hike "in the footsteps of Empress Sisi" and experience an exclusive insight into the former bedroom of the Austrian Empress, who stayed here several times in this hut. More information and registration for the guided hike via this link.
You can also reach the hut from Gosau or Lake Gosau via well-maintained hiking trails. Another option is to go up with the Gosaukammbahn. From the mountain station you can hike comfortably to the alpine hut. The 30-minute walk takes you past beautiful flora and mountain landscapes and is definitely a worthwhile excursion.
Accommodation possible at the hut.
Open from mid-June to late September

Vis-à-vis users
1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
