Moderately difficult snowshoe hike to the Gschwandtkopf.
The route leads through open, unmarked terrain and is not maintained.
Good personal preparation and the right equipment are especially important for snowshoe hiking. Before starting the tour, it's essential to check the current avalanche report. Since the terrain is unmarked, downloading the GPX data for the route is recommended. Additionally, the SOS EU-ALP app, developed for mountain emergencies, is recommended.
Lightweight and stable snowshoes, adjusted to body weight. Telescopic poles for better grip and added stability. This equipment can be rented at numerous sports shops in the region.
Multiple layers of clothing, warm gloves, a hat, a waterproof jacket and pants, as well as winter hiking boots, are recommended.
The snowshoe hike starts at the village square in Seefeld and first leads leisurely to the idyllic Wildsee. At the transformer station by the lake, the actual ascent begins: follow Trail No. 86 through the snowy winter forest up to Gschwandtkopf.
At the top, a breathtaking panoramic view awaits you. The mountain restaurant and panorama bar at Gschwandtkopf, as well as the Sonnenalm, invite you to take a well-deserved break and warm up – perfect for soaking in the winter ambiance.
The descent takes you down through the Gschwandtkopfmähder (No. 86) to Auland, through a quiet, deeply snow-covered landscape. Along the way, you'll pass the cozy Enzianhütte, which also offers a welcoming stop and a perfect chance for one last break. The path continues to the bus stop "Auland Sagweg", from which you can comfortably return to your starting point in Seefeld by bus.
