Description

Gollinghütte chalet and Gollingwinkel are 2 hiking destinations that can be reached relatively easy. Situated at the foot of the impressive North face of Hochgolling, Gollingwinkel is a cirque similar to an amphitheatre. The trail ascends moderately through the Steinriesental valley - if you look up to the right and left, you know where it got its name.

Directions

From Seeleiten car park you follow the forest lane towards "Untere Steinwendalm" chalets and to Laberer Boden. In the small pond at Laberer Boden you can see a nice reflection of Hochgolling summit. You continue along the forestry lane to the ropeway for material transport to Gollinghütte chalet. From here a trail ascends to Gollinghütte chalet near the waterfall. Gollinghütte is used for overnight stays by many hikers who are on their way along the Schladminger Tauern High Trail or make the "Klafferkessel" tour. From the chalet it takes you about 15 minutes to reach the romantic Gollingwinkel at the foot of the Hochgolling North face.

Equipment

A well-packed backpack is helpful and especially when touring Alpine terrain a tuque, gloves, a windproof jacket and pants are standard equipment. Good, waterproof shoes, sun glasses, sun cream and sufficient beverages are essential too. Torch light, a map of the area, knie and a small first-aid kit should also be in the backpack.

Safety instructions
Changes in weather patterns, quick falls in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow are some of the dangers that can be encountered on a hiking tour. Hosts of alpine huts and mountain refuges have a lot of experience in the mountains and can give good advice about weather and the trails. Poor equipment, overestimation of one's own capabilities, carelessness, poor personal constitution and/or wrong judgement  can lead to critical situations. In case of thunderstorms: avoid summits, ridges and steel ropes.

GPS data and orienteering

Available GPS data - just like hiking maps - is only a guidance for orientation and can never depict a trail exactly with all its details. Especially at dangerous spots it is essential to judge on site how to proceed.

In an emergency please call:

140 - for Alpine emergencies (all over Austria) 112 - European GSM emergency number
