Ascent: Along the street towards the mountain rescue hut. After this hut you walk on the right side through a high forest in the direction of the Kaltenbachalm. Along the summer check marks to the Mittlere Kaltenbachsee.
From here on there are two possible variants. The first one is the easier one: you walk southwest-wards and pass the Obere Kaltenbachsee on the left side and across the Ertrachboden to the Deneck.
The second variant would be: you walk northwest-wards towards Sonnkar to the Deneck.

Safety information

Mountain sports and the assessment of the situation on site is - even more so in winter - primarily your own responsibility. Tourism associations or avalanche warning services do not assume any liability based on information provided.

The tours in the Sölktälern lead through alpine terrain. Be aware of the long ascents. They require safety equipment, knowledge and skills of a mountaineer! Plan your tour carefully and pay attention to the current avalanche situation report!

You can inform yourself about the current avalanche situation at the avalanche warning service of Styria. Hompage: lawine-steiermark.at Avalanche situation report Tape: +43 800 31 1588

You are responsible for yourself!
