Gscheideggkogel

This beautiful ski tour impresses especially with a varied route and the Devil's Gorge.

In the rear Johnsbachtal valley, north-east of the Leobner, there is a rather inconspicuous but promising ski touring mountain - the Gscheideggkogel. From the Ebnerklamm car park, which is the starting point of the famous Johnsbacher Almenrunde in summer, the mostly continuously groomed ascent route first leads along the forest road through the famous and worth seeing Ebner or Teufelsklamm gorge. Behind the gorge, the route leads over the toboggan run, soon we turn left and it goes alternately through the forest and in sections again on forest roads towards the summit. The last 200 metres of the summit slope are quite demanding, but they are worth it for the view of the snow-covered Gesäuse mountains and the guaranteed fun on the way down.

More information

At the beginning of the forest road and in sections in the area of the gorge, you should be prepared for rough spots that can cause unnecessary scratches on the skiing surface during the subsequent descent. First you follow the forest road through the famous and worth seeing Ebner or Devil's Gorge. Behind the gorge, the route leads over the toboggan run, soon we turn left and it goes alternately through the forest and in sections again on forest roads towards the summit. If you follow the signs into the forest, you will soon reach a clearing via a small steep step. A little later, the tracked path follows a forest road for a longer section, whose forest areas on the left (east) are habitat for grouse and therefore may not be entered (corresponding signs clearly indicate this). At the end of the forest road, you reach a flat ridge in a short steep section and come directly to the beginning of the summit slope. Follow the tracks in a south-easterly direction past a weather station and up several hairpin bends to the summit cross (1788 m).

At the starting points of the NP ski tours there are devices to check the function of your avalanche transceiver!

There are also information boards and flyers with the exact route description at the starting points!
