Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive to Austria, and then we continue driving on the highway towards Salzburg. We leave the highway at exit for settlement Sankt Michael (exit is located between the both larger tunnels). Further, we then follow the signs for Obertauern and Radstadt. The road leads us through settlements Sankt Michael, Sankt Margarethen and Mauterndorf. Then we follow an ascending road all the way to mountain pass Obertauern, where there is also eponymous ski center. On the mountain pass, we drive to marked bridge number 5 (Brücke 5). We park on one of the parking lots near the bridge.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a narrow asphalt road which is closed for traffic. The road is located after the bridge number 5 and at first leads towards the southwest. The road is ascending by grassy slopes and at smaller cottage turns to the left. An ascending road then soon brings us to a crossroad.
Left on a macadam road leads the path towards the summit Herbertspitze and Gamsleitenspitze, and we continue right and we are still ascending on the road by the ski slope. Higher, the road turns a little to the left and then runs through a small valley by huge retaining walls, which protect ski slope against avalanches. The road then brings us to a midway station of the chairlift from where again a nice view opens up towards the summit Gamsspitzl. Further road runs below the slopes of the peak Gamsleitenspitze towards the west. Later road turns a little to the right and only a short ascent follows to bar Gamsmilchbar by which there is also an upper station of the cableway and artificial lake intended for snowmaking.
We continue on a marked path, which quickly brings us to a marked crossing by the lake. Left leads the path towards the summit Gamsleitenspitze, and we continue right and after a short ascent, we come to another crossing.
This time path towards the summit Gamsspitzl branches off to the right, and we continue left following the signs »Zehnerkarspitze«. The path from the crossing then in a gentle ascent crosses slopes towards the west and brings us below south wall of the peak Gamsspitzl. Here the path ascends over short crumbly slope over which some caution is needed. Further, we for a short time cross slopes, and then the path turns right and starts ascending steeper towards the notch on the north side of the peak Zehnerkarspitze. On this part is on the path quite a lot of gravel and in the last part towards the notch we need to climb few meters on a steep rocks. The path is those few meters otherwise very steep but isn't exposed.
On the notch where a view opens up towards the west we continue left on a well-marked ridge. After that, the path runs by quite wide ridge all the way to the top.
