Gaisstein: A Majestic Alpine Escape

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, head towards Kaprun from your location in Hohe Tauern. Follow the signs for B161, which is the main road leading to Kaprun. Once you reach Kaprun, continue on the B165 road towards the direction of Zell am See. Look for signs to Gaisstein. The Unnamed Road will lead you right up to the area. Parking may be available nearby, but check local signs for any restrictions.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, catch a bus from your nearest bus station in Hohe Tauern heading to Kaprun. The bus service is operated by the local transport authority, and you can check the schedule online or at the bus stop. Once in Kaprun, you may need to switch to a local bus or a taxi to reach Gaisstein. Confirm with the bus driver or check local maps, as service may vary. The cost for the bus ride is typically around €3-5, depending on your starting point.

• Walking

  If you are already in Kaprun and prefer to walk, from the center of Kaprun, head northwest towards the Unnamed Road. Follow this road, which should lead you directly to Gaisstein. The walk will take approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on your pace. Wear suitable footwear, as the road may be uneven in places.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct and convenient option, consider taking a taxi from Kaprun to Gaisstein. Taxis are available throughout Kaprun, and you can ask your hotel to arrange one for you. The fare should be around €15-20, depending on the distance and taxi service.
