At eye level with the Styrian mountain world! Dachstein, Grimming and Wölzer Tauern are in your field of vision on this winter hike.

This wonderful Wörschachwalder panoramic tour through winter forest and snow-white alpine meadows demands a lot of endurance and presents you with unique views. With every meter of altitude there is more to see and be amazed.

Author’s recommendation

Who does not know it - the Cilli from the Bärenfeichtenalm. You can read about her almost 100 years of history on the blog of Berg & Tal and watch her in the video.

Safety information

Before every snowshoe hike you should always check the current avalanche report - available at www.lawine-steiermark.at. Mountain sports and the assessment of the situation on site are - in winter all the more so - above all subject to personal responsibility. Tourism associations or avalanche warning services do not assume any liability based on information provided.   
  •  Do not go on snowshoe hikes alone. Together it is more fun anyway.   
  • Always be aware of risks and react to danger signs.  
  • Observe existing regulations such as hunting and game reserves, reforestation or young growth areas   
  • You should always have your cell phone well charged. Have you also saved the emergency number 140 of the mountain rescue service? If you have no reception, take out the SIM card and dial 112.

Das Sonnenplateau der Bärenfeichtalm zu erwandern, ist ein "Muss" für jeden passionierten Schneeschuhgeher. Eine Wegverlängerung zur Schneehitzalm wäre möglich, ist jedoch kräfteraubend und ist mit 2 Stunden hin und zurück zu kalkulieren.
