From Angertal over the Stanzscharte into the Raurisertal
The hike from the Gasteinertal to the Raurisertal leads from the Angertal ski area over gentle alpine meadows to the idyllic village of Bucheben.
Between the two exclusive Gastein ski areas Stubnerkogel and Schlossalm runs the steep Lafentalgraben, through which the path leads up into the wonderful world of the Gadaunerer high alpine pasture. These fertile alpine meadows lie above the tree line, southwest they are bordered by the Kalkbretterkopf (2412 m), opposite by the Türchlwand (2577 m). Between them lies the gentle Stanzscharte (2098 m) over which the valley-crossing connecting path runs. At this highest point of the journey, a breathtaking view opens up onto the legendary Goldberg trio: Schareck, Sonnblick, and Hocharn. But the view closer to the ground is also worthwhile, further down the valley the quiet path leads at the right time through a true paradise of berries and mushrooms.

Directions
The starting point is the bus stop Bad Hofgastein Angertal/Judau (1190 m). Past the valley station the path leads down a few metres to the Angertal stream, but then turns right before the bridge, crosses the meadow, and now follows the cool forest path 115 b (Gadaunerer high alpine pasture). Delightful wooden figures and lively streams provide variety on the 2-hour path to the Felding hut (no day off during the alpine pasture season). Moderately ascending, route 115 leads in another hour to the Stanzscharte (2098 m) and then runs as a rustic but easy-to-walk and beautiful natural path down to the Lachkendl Alm (1882 m). Afterwards it continues again on a wide alpine pasture path. Path 115 crosses the municipal forest, passes the Frohn Alm, and turns right just below the barn towards the church Bucheben. A few metres lower, the access road merges into the state road to Rauris; the bus stop Bucheben is located on the left in front of Katrin's shop.
