From the Head of the valley in St. Magdalena in the Gsiesertal Valley (1465 m), follow trail markers no. 47/48 across the bridge. Immediately afterwards, turn left and then right after the Schlosserhof farm. The trail follows an old cattle track towards the Tscharniettal Valley. At approximately 1627 m, you reach a signposted junction. Keep right, cross a wooden bridge and continue along forest road no. 48. The route climbs through the forest and across alpine meadows to the Tscharniet Alm at 1976 m. From there, follow trail markers no. 48 and 48° to the foot of the Körlspitze. At a large marked boulder, keep left and climb across open grassy slopes to Kalksteinjöchl at 2349 m. The pass forms the transition into Austria’s Villgraten Valley and offers impressive views of the surrounding mountains. From Kalksteinjöchl, you can already see the summit cross of the Gailspitze on the left. It can easily be reached via a trail in 20 minutes. Return along the same route.
