With nature on you and you: On this challenging tour, it is quite possible that you will only see the inhabitants of the forest. The little-used route takes you initially over the forest road and then over several floors and steep climbs to the ridge of the Wolfnalmspitze at 2,049 m. Once you have arrived at the summit, the Ahornkogel, Dachstein and the Ennstal will give you a warm welcome.

Author’s recommendation

As a downhill option, you can cross the Wolfnalmbach at the Wolfnalmhütte. Then you follow the forest road to the 7th bend of the ascent path and follow this before closing the circle at the 5th bend and descending to the starting point.

Safety information

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

  • Check the weather and avalanche situation at www.lawine-steiermark.at before each ski tour.   
  • The use of the tour description is at your own risk and responsibility.    
  • Do not go on a ski tour alone. It's more fun together anyway!   
  • Always behave risk-conscious and react to danger signs!   
  • Respect existing regulations, such as hunting and game protection areas, reforestation or young growth areas.   
  • You should always have your cell phone well charged. Do you have the emergency numbers saved? Mountain rescue: 140. If you have no reception, take out the sim card and dial 112.

Destination

Schaupphof

Turn-by-turn directions

The ski tour starts directly at the parking lot. You follow the cleared forest road up to the 5th bend. Now you track long and flat on the not cleared forest road to a stream and cross it. A short distance later you climb up to the right through the high forest and come back to the forest road, which you follow to the Wolfnalmhütte, a hunting lodge. Here you turn south to the left side of the wide valley before it gets steeper at a prominent boulder. Be careful - there it can be dangerous for avalanches. Via individual short ascents and small floors you finally reach the summit block, which can only be reached on foot. There is no summit cross or summit book here, but a magnificent panorama that shows you the nearby Ahornkogel, the Schreinl and the mountains of the Planneralm behind it.

The descent follows the ascent track.

Die Tour auf die Wolfenalmspitze ist keine "schwere" Tour, weder aufgrund der Höhenmeter, noch aufgrund der Länge und schon gar nicht aufgrund technischer Schwierigkeiten auf der Tour. Es handelt sich um eine "Genusstour" in wunderschöner Alm- und Berglandschaft. Selten begangen. Der erste Teil ist auf einer Forststraße zurück zu legen, der zweite Teil führt durch ein sanftes Almgebiet mit aufgelockertem Waldbestand und das letzte Stück ist ein ca. 30 ° steiler schöner Schihang Alfred Pöllinger, Alpinreferent des AV Stainach
