Beautiful ski tour in the Totes Gebirge. Not heavily frequented due to a long approach through rugged terrain.

Scenically beautiful and easy ski tour. Long, flat approach and return in the valley via Steirersee and Schwarzsee over the Leistalm with short uphill sections. Easy ascent to the summit with several descent options.

Tips and suggestions

Numerous overnight options on Tauplitzalm guarantee an early start with ski touring in the day.

Roadbook

From the Tauplitz mountain station or Linzer Tauplitz hut eastwards to the Steirersee alpine huts. Ski down to the Steirersee. Cross it and then ascend to the Schwarzsee. Pass the Leistalm hut on the right and follow path 209a to the Kamphütten huts. After about 500m, turn left and ascend northeastwards (following path 277) to Almkogel.

Either leave skis in the depot just below the summit or ski to the summit if conditions are good.

Descent: same as ascent or (more beautiful) through the Wassergraben to Innerhüttenalm. From there via Kamphütten huts again along the ascent route (with short uphill sections) back.
