With a height of almost 2178 m, the Gamshag is the highest mountain in the Kelchalm circuit. The summit can be reached from almost all directions, the all-round view is impressive. The Hohe Tauern seem close enough to touch. The Torsee, which is located at the foot of the Gamshag, is also wonderful.

Hiking

The Gamshag (2,178 m) is a particularly impressive peak in the Kitzbühel Alps and a true hiking highlight at the head of the Saalbach-Hinterglemm valley. This technically easy tour leads mostly via the Bochumer Hütte and the picturesque "Tor" pass, as well as the idyllic Torsee lake, to the summit, from where spectacular views of the Venediger Group, the Wilder Kaiser, and the Steinernes Meer massif await.
