An enduring ski route with over 1300 m elevation gain. Easy approach on forest road (1 hour / 200 m). Then follows 100 m steep and narrow, then 1000 m cirque. Magnificent panoramic view!

From the parking lot follow the forest road, past the Teufelskirche (impressive rock formation on the right across the stream), past the forest house Bartltalhütte (658m), until around 700m a prominent rock gorge appears, where you then ascend. It takes about 1 hour with only 200 m elevation gain to reach here. We leave the ravine and a steep ascent follows upwards on the left, depending on snow conditions on foot or with skis. Crampons may already be advisable. After about 100 m elevation gain, a clearing is reached and then initially a slight ascent continues, further north, always keeping left of the dwarf pines and getting steeper until the summit of Hochsengs (1838m).
Author’s recommendation
Put on crampons early!

Tauern motorway exit St. Pangratz. Towards the train station, but not left to the station, instead continue right on the road towards Teufelskirche. The road is narrow and partly steep (possibly bring snow chains).
Best to use the travel tool on Alpenvereinaktiv.com!
Parking
About 200 m before the Teufelskirche there are some parking spaces along the forest road. However, parking availability is very limited.Coordinates
