The Gandegghütte can be reached from a cableway in 30 minutes. But there is also a possibility to reach the cabin using another cableway and a hike of about 2 hours.
It was a beautifull tour across rocks and through snow (which is quite cold when you're only wearing shorts). On the way back 2 Japanese people were walking behind us. We thought we were kind of late and decided to take the cableway to get down. But these 2 Japanese thought differently about that and met the challenge to get down all the way on sneakers. They must have had sore muscles the next day.
