A relatively easy mountain tour (by Tyrolean standards) leads from the mountain station of the Rofanbahn cable car to the Gschöllkopf viewing platform. From the viewing platform you can enjoy a wonderful view over the mountain landscape, especially the Rofan mountains with the Rotspitze mountain.
The mountain tour takes about 40 minutes. First at the foot of a slope (caution, there is a risk of falling rocks here, do not stop), then there is a short, very steep section (with the help of a wire rope) and finally a relatively flat path to the Gschöllkopf viewing platform.
The short mountain tour can be done by anyone who is physically active and has no walking restrictions. The route is clearly indicated at the mountain station of the Rofanbahn cable car. If in doubt, you can inquire again on site. Of course, as with any mountain hike, you have to be aware of the dangers of the terrain, but it is basically a safe short mountain hike.
The Gschöllkopf viewing platform offers a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view not only of the Rofan Mountains, but also of Lake Achensee and the surrounding valleys. The tour is particularly popular in autumn and spring, when the weather is often more stable. Benches on the platform invite you to linger and enjoy the view. The hike is also suitable for families with older children, as the path is varied but not too demanding. However, sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothing are recommended, as the weather in the mountains can change quickly.
