Start at the parking lot at the Gitschberg base station in Meransen. After a short 5-minute walk, you’ll reach a distinctive round building where you can put on your skis. After another 5 minutes, turn right.
Follow a short section of sledding trail, keeping strictly to the right, and switch to a moderately steep path. After a steeper section, you’ll reach the track of the Gitschberg cable car. From here, ascend through a small valley – if the incline feels too steep, use switchbacks.
After about 500 meters, you’ll arrive at a service road leading to the „Grabenkreuz“ waypoint. Follow a short winter hiking trail, then a steeper path through a hollow leads you to the edge of the ski slope. Just before the slope, turn right into a serene valley.
Ascend along a ridge, sometimes using switchbacks, until you reach the forest edge at Gaisraste. Continue to the old mountain station and then along the winter hiking trail to the Nesselhütte. From there, follow a groomed trail to the Gitschhütte at 2,200 meters.
Now you’ve reached the ski area. Cross the „Gitsch Plateau“ carefully and follow the route to the summit. Along the way, enjoy spectacular views of the Pfunderer Valley and the breathtaking panorama from the summit cross.
For the descent, you can use the groomed slopes. Several cozy mountain huts invite you to take a well-deserved break.
