The Gassel lakes with their ring of peaks
Alpine Highlights of the First Order: The hiking area around the Reiteralm and the basin nestled between Gasselhöhe, Rippetegg, and Schober, with its six small Gassel lakes (Obersee 2, Mittersee 1, Untersee 3), lies directly opposite the Dachstein. A truly spectacular sight on a calm day is the Mittersee, with its reflection of the Dachstein's three peaks (from left: Torstein, Mitterspitz, Hoher Dachstein).
Starting point: Valley towns: Pichl, 799 m, Gleiming, 782 m. Starting point: Reiteralm, 1710 m. Access via toll road from Pichl (13 km) or with Preunegg Jet (Tues., Fri. in summer). Difficulty: From Reiteralm to Gasselhöhe or to Untersee easy ("blue").
