Kerschkern - The favorite in the Triebener Tauern

Name: Kerschkern - The favorite in the Triebener Tauern
Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 5 (2 reviews)

The Kerschkern is one of the most popular ski touring areas in the Niedere Tauern due to its rather gentle ascent. With the start and finish at the Bergerhube, the Styrian culinary delights are not neglected after the ski tour.

This ski tour also offers numerous variations and is very popular for this reason. In the area of the Hahnenkamm, nature enchants us on the ascent with the white decoration of the mountain scenery by the Anraum, also known locally as frost.

More information

Coming from Trieben or Judenburg on the B114, take the Triebental entrance. Follow the road for approx. 8 km to the Bergerhube parking lot

From the Bergerhube, we first follow a forest road that leads us in a south-easterly direction. After the first bridge, we branch off to the right and walk along a hollow path through the forest along the Grünbach stream. We soon reach a forest road again, which takes us to the idyllically situated and unmanaged Schaunitzalm.

The ascent continues slightly uphill to Schaunitztörl, where we keep left towards Krugtörl, where a short, rocky step awaits us. From here, we continue along the ridge with wonderful panoramic views up to the summit cross of the 2,225 m high Kerschkern. The descent is via the ascent route. Please note the winter markings!

a stop at the Bergerhube for a warm soup after the tour is definitely recommended
