Gastein is a paradise for speedy legs On the tracks of WorldChampions.

Characterised by the Adidas Infinite Trail World Championships, Gastein has made a prominent name for itself in the trail running scene in the past few years. There are two signposted trail routes here: one leads up to the Poserhöhe (not. just for posers!) and the other up to the Gamskarkogel. By the way, this route was part of the Adidas Infinite Trails. So, you are literally running on the world-champion ground.

Gastein offers over 600 kilometres of marked running trails ranging from leisurely promenades to steeper trails up to an altitude of 3000 metres above sea level. Flat and long or challenging and high Alpine. Feel so free, and every day you can decide where your route will take you! The BLÜ is the perfect starting point for running and trail running since countless running and trail routes begin right outside the front door.

The best tracks

No.1

BLÜsider Running Tip

The Gamskarkogel Trail - in the footsteps of the Adidas trail runners. Start directly behind the Blü on the waterfall trail. Pass the Annencafè (where you can enjoy the best waffles in the valley) and continue to the Rastötzen. From there, the trail winds its way over the mountain ridge up to the Gamskarkogel.

BLÜsider Running Tip

Switch to the signposted trail route to Poserhöhe or continue on to Prossau. On the way there, you also have the option of taking the ascent to Reedsee. However, concentration is required here. The steep path leads over rough forest ground, over hill and dale, but it is definitely worth it, as you will eventually reach a unique piece of nature.

BLÜsider Running Tip

The Hüttenkogel Trail is the right choice for anyone who wants to conquer many metres in altitude over a short distance and enjoy a unique panorama at the finish.
The trail is beautifully laid out across meadows and through the forest to the middle station and finally to the mountain station, where you can breathe in the scent of centuries-old stone pines. You have reached the tree line and the cross of the Hüttenkogel is already within your grasp. After a further 200 metres in altitude, you reach the summit and the unique panoramic view proves that the 1200 metres in altitude were worth it.
