Summit Hike
Tribulaunhütte - Garklerin (2,470 m)

This challenging but beautiful hike begins at the Gasthof Feuerstein guesthouse at the end of the Gschnitztal Valley. Follow trail 127 through a steep section of forest until the terrain flattens near the Außersandesalm (1,498 metres). East of the Sandesbach stream, continue all the way to the edge of the forest heading uphill. You will then pass the Valtißalm (1,663 metres) before reaching the Tribulaunhütte (2,064 metres), a mountain hut perched high above the end of the valley. Stop here for a snack and a drink before continuing in a large arc along the foot of the Pflerscher Tribulaun (3,097 metres) and the Gschnitzer Tribulaun (2,946 metres) as well as the Goldkappl (2,793 metres) mountains. It is then time to head north, up onto the grassy ridge (2,259 metres). This is where the ascent to the top of the Garklerin begins. From the top of the peak you can enjoy fine views of the north-facing slopes of the Pflerscher Tribulaun and the Gschnitzer Tribulaun as well as the shimmering glaciers in the distance and the towering Feuerstein mountain (3,268 metres).

The descent leads back down the same narrow mountain path to the grassy ridge, then down left along the western side of the Sandbach river into the valley to the starting point at the Gasthof Feuerstein.
