Skitour Buchberg von Gams

Easy but very beautiful ski tour on the edge of the Gesäuse

From Gamsforst on forest paths to Goss and from there along the hiking trail over beautiful alpine pastures to the Buchberg!

Very worthwhile and rather easy with an overwhelming view of the Gesäuse.

From Gams, drive east along the Gamsforstrasse to the last farm, if the forest road is cleared, continue on foot along the forest road and then after about 1/2 hour turn left into the forest, following the trail markings on the trees. Continue along the track, crossing the forest road in the direction of the mountain pasture and in the same direction east to the Goss. Up to there approx. 1 1/2 hrs.

After a break, continue south up to the ridge and from there head southwest towards the Großer Buchberg. Before the last uphill section, there is another downhill section, where you have to gain a lot of momentum on the way back or you will have to skin up again!

After about 2 1/2 hours we reach the summit, behind us a wonderful tour along the ridge with a fantastic panoramic view of the Gesäuse mountains. The way back is the same.

If it is too long for you, you can only walk up to the Goss, which is also very worthwhile!
