Description

You take the Acherkogelbahn into the Hochoetz ski region. The beautiful, signposted snowshoe trail starts below the panoramic restaurant (2020 m) and leads off-piste to the Rotes Wandl, then gently downhill through the snow-covered winter forest to the Acherkogelblick viewing platform. The impressive view of the Acherkogel invites you to linger. On the way back, the kilometers covered must always be ascended slightly.
