Directions

From the district heating plant in Sexten, follow the forest trail marked No. 12B and hike steadily uphill through the Gselltal valley. The trail is steep in places, but is easy to walk on and leads through shady forest to the summit of Außergsell. From there, continue along a slightly flatter ridge on trail no. 12 to Innergsell. The extensive mountain meadows are a colorful sea of flowers, especially in summer. The descent is via trail no. 12 into the Fischleintal valley, where you take the Sextner Rundweg (trail no. 1), which leads back to the starting point at the district heating plant. There are no mountain huts along the entire route, so it is advisable to bring sufficient provisions with you – there are numerous idyllic spots along the way that are ideal for picnics.

How to get there

The hike starts at Sesto, path nr. 12
