The tour
With a fantastic view over the Dachstein massif you walk from the Michaelerberghaus on a gravel path (suitable for pushchairs/prooms) to the Stiegleralm (not managed). 
Turn-by-turn directions
The broad gravel path leads through the forest. The trees give shadow on hot days. Again and again you pass beautiful vantage points into the Sattental and Ennstal. Shortly before the Stiegleralm, the path becomes steeper again over the last 500 metres. 
Getting there
The Michaelerberghaus can be reached through Pruggern.

Equipment

Weather changes, rapid temperature drops, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow fields are objective dangers and require the right behaviour on the road. Hutkeepers are experienced mountain experts who can give good tips on the weather and the route. Lack of equipment, overestimation of one's own abilities, carelessness, poor physical condition and a wrong assessment can lead to critical situations. During thunderstorms: Avoid peaks, ridges, trees and rope belaying at all costs.

In an emergency, please dial the following emergency calls: No. 140 - Mountain Rescue No. 112 - Euro Emergency Call

For alpine routes, the basic equipment includes a hood, gloves, a good jacket and trousers. Good, waterproof shoes, sunglasses, sun protection and plenty of drinks are essential. Flashlight, maps, knives and a small first aid box are also included.
