Like all destinations around the Staneralm, the Reßeck should not be underestimated despite its comparatively low summit height: The area is exposed to wind, and the summit slopes require secure conditions. When these conditions are met, you can experience magnificent, mostly solitary routes here!

Safety information

After new snowfall, special attention must be paid to avalanche danger, especially in the area near the ridge.

Tips and suggestions

Respect your limits! 5 rules for responsible snowshoeing or ski touring:

Where available, stay on marked routes; always observe information boards as well as protected, conservation, and restricted areas.
Show consideration for wildlife: avoid feeding areas and immediately and calmly retreat if you spot an animal.
Avoid young tree stands (under three meters); ski edges can cause great damage to trees.
Do not leave any waste behind.
Avoid noise.

Important for ski tours: Prohibition against skiing on young forests and reforestation areas
