Leobner

The tour begins at the car park of the Zeiringeralm (Johnsbacher Almenrunde), where the information boards clearly present the upcoming tour. From the car park, follow the forest road in a southerly direction. Past the signposted turn-off to the Zeiringeralm, which is soon after the car park, the ascent track leads along the snow-covered forest road along the Johnsbach to the crossroads shortly before the Grössingeralm. Here you continue south and soon reach the open alpine pasture, where you can already see the downhill tracks of the other ski tourers in the deep snow. At the southern end of the alpine pasture, the terrain becomes steeper and you reach the beginning of the Sautrog, a gully about one kilometre long, where you have to climb about 400 metres in altitude. At the top you will find yourself at the Leobnertörl (1739 m), a saddle with great views of the Niedere Tauern. From here, the trail leads along the Leobner Wall in a westerly direction into the Leobnerkar, where you then go up to the Leobner with more or less hairpin bends over the eastern summit slope, depending on the route. For the descent from the summit you can either choose the ascent route, or you descend directly into the cirque and come back to the ascent track at Leobnertörl. The descent follows through the Sautrog in any case.
