Around the Schladminger Tauern

Partially opened
This very long, condition- and strength- demanding tour circles the Schladminger Tauern with a wonderful mountain panorama. 

A very long tour that continues counterclockwise around the Schladminger Tauern from the Schladming starting point via Radstadt, Untertauern and Obertauern. Sometimes steep and long climbs are to be mastered, therefore this tour is very strenuous and requires good physical condition.
