Diese Skitour besticht durch seine landschaftlichen Höhepunkte und Fernsichten, ist zudem lang, sehr abwechslungsreich und hat eine alpine Note mit dem spektakulärem Aufstieg am Gipfelgrat

Bei schlechten Bedingungen kann die Querung im Hasentalgraben sehr anspruchsvoll sein. Mit genussvollen Abfahrten kann die Tour aber nicht dienen, nur abschnittsweise erfreuen sehr schöne, kurze Hänge; dazwischen warten wieder Querfahrten auf Sie.

 

Bitte betreten oder befahren Sie die Winterschutzgebiete nicht!

Destination

Scheinberg hikers' car park

Turn-by-turn directions

Start by proceeding in a westerly direction along the forest road into the Säger Valley. At the end of the valley, you ascend somewhat more steeply via two twists in the pathway.

Immediately afterwards, the route branches off to the left to the Hochplatte. Cross the Hasen Valley rift in a southerly direction and proceed onto the Löser Valley rift.

Climb up onto the Löser Valley ridge and proceed down the other side into the Beinlandl. The eastern ridge of the Hochplatte is reached via the Schlössel and the Wilder Freithof.

A wire rope provides assistance in some places as you ascend to the highest point. The descent takes place via the same route as the ascent. Alternatively, as described on the map, you may choose to ascend to the downhill route from the Scheinberg from the level of the Lösertalmösl (a further elevation of approximately 100 metres).

This means that you do not need to cross the Hasen Valley rift and will avoid the less rewarding section of the route through the Säger Valley. After ascending, the further descent takes place via the Hundsfäll rift down to your starting point.

Der vorgeschlagene Übergang bei der Abfahrt vom Lösertalgraben zum Hundsfällgraben sind nochmals gut 30 Spitzkehren... Die schöne gerade Linie des Tracks suggeriert einen leichten Anstieg und kostet am Ende der Tour doch nochmals richtig Kraft.
