Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving on the highway towards Salzburg. We leave the highway at the exit for the town of Sankt Michael (the exit is located between the two larger tunnels). We then follow the signs for Obertauern and Radstadt. The road leads us through the towns of Sankt Michael, Sankt Margarethen and Mauterndorf. Then we follow an ascending road all the way to the Obertauern pass, where there is also the eponymous ski center. On the pass, we drive to the marked bridge number 5 (Brücke 5). We park on one of the parking lots near the bridge.
Path description:
From the starting point, we head onto a narrow asphalt road that is closed to traffic. The road is located after bridge number 5 and initially leads towards the southwest. The road ascends along grassy slopes and turns left at a smaller cottage. The ascending road then soon brings us to a crossroads.
To the left on the macadam road leads the path towards the summits Herbertspitze and Gamsleitenspitze; we continue right and continue ascending along the road beside the ski slope. Higher up, the road turns slightly to the left and then runs through a small valley beside huge scarps that protect the ski slope from avalanches. The road then brings us to the intermediate station of the chairlift from where a nice view opens up again towards the summit Gamsspitzl. Further on, the road runs below the slopes of the peak Gamsleitenspitze towards the west. Later the road turns slightly to the right and there follows only a short ascent to the Gamsmilchbar bar, beside which there is also the upper station of the cableway and an artificial lake intended for snowmaking.
We continue on the marked path, which quickly brings us to a marked junction by the lake. To the left leads the path towards the summit Gamsleitenspitze, and we continue right and after a short ascent we come to another junction.
This time the path towards the summit Zehnerkarspitze branches off to the left, and we continue right following the signs »Gamsspitzl«. From the junction, the path then ascends along a wide grassy ridge from which we have a nice view back towards the lake and on the surrounding peaks. Higher up, the path brings us to the northern side of the peak and there follows an ascent along a somewhat steeper slope to the top. In the last part of the path, some steel cables also assist us.
On the way: Gamsmilchbar (2184m), Zehnerkar Sattel (2205m)
