The meadows of the Gsell mountain are an insider tip for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. The meadows of Inner- and Außergsell spread out on the north side of the mighty Dreischusterspitze. The Gsellwiesen meadows are traditionally mown and the larch meadows are evidence of the mountain farming landscape.
A hike of tranquillity - solitude and silence paired with magnificent panoramas. The view of the nearby peaks of the Sexten Dolomites and the Carnic mountain ridge and the impressive view down to Sexten are particularly rewarding.
You should bring your own food and refreshments, as there is no catered hut.
