November 6, 2021,202111 Gaisbergrundweg ❄☁️🌥

The Gaisbergrundweg runs around the Gaisberg at an altitude of around 1000 meters. This year there is already snow at this altitude, but the path is still almost entirely free. The way is easy, you can also see prams.

Take the bus to the Zistelalm (on weekdays, the bus only runs every 90 minutes). The Zistelalm is only open on weekends.
Beautiful walk. Easy, wide path – also suitable for strollers.
We saw a slowworm on the trail.

To Salzburg to the Gaisberg circular route.
Started from the free parking lot at the Zistelalm, which was full at lunchtime when we returned.
It is recommended to take the bus from Mirabellgarten.

Today with both sons, what a joy. 👍🥰

On October 28, 2021 drive by car up the Gaisberg to the Zistlalm (1000 m). From there hike around the Gaisberg on the circular hiking trail. Wonderful weather and a fantastic panorama. Beautiful autumn colors. Walking time about 1 3/4 hours.

Today, four of us went on a day trip to the Gaisberg. We first did the Gaisberg circular trail and then took the bus to the Gaisbergspitze.

It says 'Alpine Way' at the beginning... I call that a huge exaggeration!
