The Gamswiesenspitzen are a whole massif composed of the Große and Kleine Gamswiesenspitze (2,486 m a.s.l. and 2,454 m a.s.l.) as well as the 2,400-m high Bloßkofel. It is located south of the municipal area of Amlach, between the Laserzkessel and Kerschbaumertörl.
The first ascension of the Große Gamswiesenspitze dates back to 1803 when a hunting trail ascended the summit. Today, it is a well-known panoramic viewpoint accessible in a 3-hour hike from the Karlsbader Hütte mountain hut.
The famous via ferrata "Madonnen-Klettersteig" inaugurated in 2006 leads to the peaks of the two Gamswiesenspitzen. One of the highlights of this route is the Virgin of the Rocks with its beautiful head decoration reflecting the sunlight.
