The gondola comfortably takes you up to the Wispile mountain station. The easy hike leads along a beautiful winter hiking trail along the ridge. The route offers walkers a fantastic view of the mountain panorama. At Chrinetritt, the path goes down towards Gsteig. The path meanders through various forest sections towards Gsteig. At the bottom in the valley, you see the church and the adjacent Hotel Bären with its traditionally painted facade. From here, the post bus goes back to the Wispile valley station.
Of course, it is also possible to start this winter hiking trail in Gsteig and hike up to Chrinetritt. Then follow along the ridge to the Wispile mountain station.
Please observe the post bus timetable and the operating hours of the cable cars.
