From the top station of Gaislachkogl mountain gondola you follow the ski run on its upper ridge (towards the higher valley). Take the steeply rising path on the right hand side, winding its way up the slope to fabulous lake Gaislachsee. Then descend on a saddleback and grass-covered slopes to Gaislach (cart road). The slightly ascending trail back to the middle station of Gaislachkogl mountain gondola travels past Heidealm and - without any change in elevation - to the middle station. Otherwise you simply follow the cart road to Gaislach.
