Gaipahöhe, Innerkrems

The route starts directly at the bridge over the Kremsbach, at the junction to the Nockalmstraße. At the beginning, you follow the marked summer hiking trail (113) through the forest. After about 400 meters of elevation gain, you leave the forest behind at Spittal Alm and continue without major detours across the alpine pasture to the summit of the 2,192 m high Gaipahöhe.

The descent follows the same route back under good snow conditions. However, as in this variant, you can also head east from the Gaipahöhe toward the Blutige Alm. Shortly before the mountain station of the Blutige Alm chairlift, a wonderfully wide, rather gentle slope leads down to Willi's hut. From there, you ski down the piste to the valley station of the Innerkremser mountain lifts. Then you must cover about 1.5 km back to the starting point, preferably along the road on the sidewalk.
