Directions
You can start your hike to the Gaislachalms from the Stiegele parking lot, following the Gaislach/Hochsölden junction.
As an alternative starting point, take the Zentrum Shuttle and follow the Außerwaldstraße towards Innerwald. A direct path leads over Innerwaldstraße to the district of Infang, where you can begin your hike.
The path is initially relatively flat before it ascends at the first curve, often running parallel to the ski slope. It continues on the signposted trail, which leads slightly uphill through dense forest to the Gaislachalms.
After some curves, you first reach the alpine guesthouse Sonneck. From there, it continues leisurely to the Gaislachalm and then into the Silbertal valley.
The descent follows the same path as the ascent.
