Ski tour Krahbergzinken

A short, moderate tour from Planai-Mitterhaus to the summit of Krahbergzinken.

A beautiful and short ski tour, also suitable for those who have just started ski touring. Not far from marked terrain, but still away from the busy slopes. The ascent is quite easy for the most part - only the last 100 m to the summit are a bit more challenging and it is better to take them on foot instead of your skis. The descent into "Mitterhaus" is a true delight. From there, you either take Mitterhausbahn chairlift to get back up or you ascend by skis. Attention - ski pass required!

More information

From Schladming you take Planai cable-car to Planai and continue via "Märchenwiese" chair lift or "Burgstallalm" chair lift towards Mitterhaus.

Ascent

This short skitour to Krahbergzinken starts near the top of Mitterhaus chairlift. The starting point can be reached via Planai cable-car, Märchenwiesen chairlift and Mitterhaus chairlift on marked terrain. At Krahbergsattel, south of the top of Mitterhaus chairlift, you leave marked terrain and head into the sparse wood at the timberline, which you soon leave behind. You ascend along the Northwest face, which gets a bit steeper towards the end. Shortly before arriving on the summit you unstrap your skis to reach the summit on foot. The East face is falling off steep here - be very careful!

Descent

For the descent you take the Northwest face and when you get lower you cross into the North face towards Mitterhausalm where you can grab something to eat and drink. From there, you either take Mitterhausbahn chairlift (ski pass required) to get back up or you ascend by skis.

Very good skiers at perfect conditions can try the descent via the steep East face of Krahbergzinken.
