The cable car takes us from Obertilliach in the Gailtal valley to the mountain station near malga Conny at 2,095 m a.s.l. The gravel path no. 44B runs across mountain meadows to the Laba water reservoir and the Jochsee lake. Soon we arrive at the crossroads with the Gailtaler Höhenweg, a high-altitude path. From here, we only need to tackle a climb of 100 metres to the peak of the Golzentipp which delights us with impressive views of the Dolomites, the Grossglockner and the Alti Tauri.
This very easy itinerary develops above the forest limit. Most hikers would classify it as a walk rather than a real hike in the mountains. However, the panoramic views you can enjoy during this trip are every bit as good as those of more challenging mountain tours. Those who would like to lengthen this hike can do so by covering part of the Gailtaler Höhenweg high-altitude path.
