Then take the cable-car to the summit of Hochwurzen.
Before each and every ski tour or snow shoe walk you should check the most recent avalanche warnings which can be found at www.lawine-steiermark.at.
In winter time it is therefore important to also be careful on supposedly easy walks. Sections that are in the shadows can easily get icy, and slopes on the side of the trail may have avalanche hazard. Mountain sport is always carried out under personal responsibility - in winter even more than in summer. Tourist offices or avalanche warning services do not take any responsibility in respect to information provided.
Snow shoes, poles, good winter shoes, warm clothing, tuque, and gloves. You might also want to carry a small backbag with a warm drink in a thermos jug.- For those you want to extend the tour, we recommand to walk south to the peak of Guschen (additional walking time of 1.5 to 2 hour both ways).
- From December until March the tourist office Schladming offers guided snow shoe tours every Thursday.For details please contact the tourist office: +43 3687 22 777 22 or office@schaldming.com
