This moderately steep route features some 650 meters of altitude gain and can be conquered by average bikers.

The climbing road takes you through the hamlets of Außerwald and Innerwald to the asphalt road (not much frequented). At the fork-off to the Glacier Road you continue in the direction of Hochsölden, keeping to the right. After 6 kilometers a forest trail forks-off to the left, joining a gravel path that leads straight to Gampe Alm and Gampe Thaya.
