Current Conditions
Elevated on 11/04/24

The 8-seater gondola and the 4-seater “Quattralpina” chairlift will remain closed in summer 2024 due to construction work. Only the Schladminger Tauern cable car is in operation from Haus in Ennstal. Since the construction site stretches across the transmitter plateau, all hiking and cycling paths and play stations located there are also closed. The main hiking routes such as. the Schafsinn circular route, the summit circular route, the children's adventure trail and much more will therefore not be available as usual. The family offers such as downhill disc golf, petting zoo, children's adventure trail and various play stations on the mountain will not be available in summer 2024. The exception is the Schafsinn pond - there the unsupervised offers such as: Barefoot path, sheep via ferrata, sheep jumping, etc. - excluding water zorbing - are available. The Wollis Kids Park in the valley is open for children and families.

Hiking trails that are not accessible:

  • Schafsinn circular route
  • Children's adventure trail
  • Summit circular route
