Description

A challenging climb with a flat start followed by a route that gradually becomes steeper. The steepest section is in the middle of the climb and can be bypassed via the forest path if there is sufficient natural snow cover. In the upper third, the route flattens out again and follows a clearly marked path, staying at the edge of the piste until it reaches the top station of the Gaisberg lift.



The 10 rules of conduct for ski tourers
The following rules have been issued by the Alpine Safety Board. Ski slopes are primarily available to users of cable cars and lifts. To avoid accidents and conflicts, we ask you to observe the following in addition to the FIS rules of conduct:

1.Observe warning signs and local regulations.
2.Comply with the closure of a slope or part of a slope. The use of snow grooming equipment, especially with cable winches, or avalanche blasting, etc., can lead to life-  hreatening situations. For safety reasons, slopes may therefore be closed for the duration of the work.
3.Only ascend at the edge of the slope and in single file.
4.Only cross the slope in clear areas and at a sufficient distance from each other.
5.Only ski on freshly groomed slopes at the edge. Tracks that have frozen overnight can severely impair the quality of the slopes.
6.Leave the slopes at the specified time (depending on the location!).
7.Make yourself visible. In darkness or poor visibility, use a head torch, reflective clothing, etc.
8.Only use slopes that are specifically designated for slope tours.
9.Do not take dogs onto the slopes.
10.Use designated car parks and pay any parking fees.
