October 16, 2022,4 Gipfeltour mit Blick auf den Wilden Kaiser 🇦🇹 Gamshag & Teufelssprung &kleiner Schütz & Schützkogel ⛰⛰⛰⛰🍂🍁

Actually we wanted to climb the Tristkogel today. But because girls trips are always creative and flexible in planning and execution, we changed our mind - and this beautiful 4 peaks with lots of sun ☀️ came out.

Stunning day in the sunshine hiking four peaks in the mountains above Kitzbuhel. It was a hot and stiff but gorgeous trek up Gamshag, Shutskgel and Triskogel but the views (and some new horse friends) were more than worth it. Lovely hut on the way down for a beer, too!
