Ski Tour Südwandhütte

A ski tour to the Südwandhütte can come up with an absolute highlight: the constant panorama of the mighty south walls of Dachstein.

From the starting point you follow the path on the right side of the stream and cross it after about 300 meters to get through the forest to the summer path, which takes you further in the direction of Neustattalm. From there you climb over the Lehmerwald to the ridge (Schönbühel) and to the Südwandhütte. It goes downhill along the many downhill variants on the ascent route.

We recommend that you take the bus to the starting point Dachsteinruhe (bus direction Ramsau - Filzmoos). This wonderful ski tour starts directly at the county border to Salzburg. There, you will cross forests and meadows in the direction of Luxwiese and on to the pasture region. This ski tour starts just past Dachsteinruhe - the house before the Ascent: from Gasthof Dachsteinruhe on the right side along the brook. After approx. 300 m, take the summer trail towards Neustattalm. This trail turns into open terrain whilst continuing to lead towards Neustattalm and the Dachstein Gondola Bottom Station. Ascent via the Lehmerwald to the ridge (Schönbühel) and, from there, continue your ski tour to the Südwandhütte (closed in winter). In good snow conditions, you can go a little bit further. Descent: there are many varied descents on the ascent route. Back to the Glösalm or further on through the Stierwald- steep with narrow passages to Gasthof Dachsteinruhe in Ramsau Hierzegg.
