De tour

A wide footpath, also easily accessible with a stroller (from Sonnenalm towards Ochsenalm a little more difficult but possible), offers you a wonderful view of the Schladminger Tauern mountains. The cosy huts ‘Halser-, Sonnen- and Ochsenalm’ serve all kinds of delicacies from the region. The famous flambéed Kaiserschmarren at the over 400-year-old Halseralm, the jolly landlord at the Sonnenalm and the quietly situated Ochsenalm are all part of this fantastic hike.

NOTE: The path between the Sonnenalm and the Ochsenalm is not suitable for strollers.

Equipment

Changes in weather patterns, quick falls in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snow are some of the dangers that can be encountered on a hiking tour. Hosts of alpine huts and mountain refuges have a lot of experience in the mountains and can give good advice about weather and the trails. Poor equipment, overestimation of one's own capabilities, carelessness, poor personal constitution and/or wrong judgement can lead to critical situations. In case of thunderstorms: avoid summits, ridges and steel ropes.

GPS data and orienteering

Available GPS data - just like hiking maps - is only a guidance for orientation and can never depict a trail exactly with all its details. Especially at dangerous spots it is essential to judge on site how to proceed.

In an emergency please call:

140 - for Alpine emergencies (all over Austria)
112 - European GSM emergency number

A well-packed backpack is helpful and especially when touring Alpine terrain a tuque, gloves, a windproof jacket and pants are standard equipment. Good, waterproof shoes, sun glasses, sun cream and sufficient beverages are essential too. Torch light, a map of the area, knie and a small first-aid kit should also be in the backpack.
