The Obere Gemstelalpe (1694 m) lies on a small high cirque in the higher part of the Gemstel valley. The hiking trail from the Hintere Gemstelalpe - i.e. the valley floor - leads directly past the alp via the "Sprengten Weg" and then continues in the direction of the Widdersteinhütte or Sterzer Hütte and Geißhorn.

The alp is used for gastronomy, so a material cable car runs from the Hintere Gemstelalpe to the Obere Gemstelalpe. This cozy alpine inn is only open in summer and offers hearty snacks, deer sausages from our own range and homemade cakes.

The Obere Gemstelalpe is located on a small high cirque in the rear, elevated part of the Gemsteltal. The hiking trail from the Hintere Gemstelalpe - i.e. the valley floor - leads along the "Gesprengten Weg" directly past the Alpe and then continues towards the Widdersteinhütte or towards the Sterzer Hütte and Geißhorn.
