Trails & Peaks: Hiking & Biking in the Gartnerkofel Region

Easy summit hikes with stunning panoramic views, leisurely trails for families, and varied bike routes that make every outing special—and with the +CARD holiday, you can even ride the mountain railways and buses for free.

Nature Experiences in the Mountains – Hiking & Biking with Panoramic Views

The Gartnerkofel is one of the most beautiful peaks in Nassfeld. It’s easily accessible and offers panoramic views that delight families, hikers, and adventurous climbers alike. The tour starts conveniently at the top station of the Millennium Express or directly at the Nassfeld Pass. From there, a well-marked trail—with no difficult climbing sections—leads up to the summit cross. Along the way, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking view of the Carnic Alps, the Gail Valley, and the neighboring mountains Rosskofel and Trogkofel.

With the +CARD holiday, the trip becomes even more relaxing: The cable car ride to the starting point is free, as are the regional buses that take you comfortably back down to the valley. This lets you plan flexibly, enjoy the mountains, and save money at the same time.

After the hike, it’s time to hop on a bike: Nassfeld BIKEworld offers easy trails for beginners and varied routes for experienced riders. The “MEX-Line 1” from Gmanberg to Tröpolach is especially popular—a long descent with turns, jumps, and pure flow. Those who prefer a more leisurely ride can take a family-friendly route with breaks at an alpine pasture and enjoy the view—here, exercise and enjoyment go hand in hand.
