Trail description
Ride the Schlick2000 Gondola from the base to its mid-mountain terminal at Froneben. Strap on your snowshoes and follow Route No.114 along a forest road for a brief steep climb. After a few minutes of ascending, the trail forks to the right toward Schlickerbach Creek. The route continues along the northern bank of the creek and follows it upstream, coming to the junction north of the Panorama Lake. There, the terrain levels out. The grade is gentle and the last section of the route travels on the right hand side of the forest road to Schlickeralm Alpine Pasture Hut.
When it is time to leave, return the way you came.
