Selected alternatives for you

    This scenic ski route is also good to do with little snow in the valley. You start with the Alpendorf Bergbahn - 6-seater chairlift - at about 1,200m. From the Kreistenalm, you go up through the forest to Buchaualm. On the way down, you can comfortably use the Alpendorf pistes!

    This beautiful route in the terrain is extremely avalanche safe. You go up the mountain through the forests in Alpendorf. The start is the 6-seater chairlift directly in Alpendorf. The first altitude meters are comfortably covered by the lift. Then put skins on your skis and go right into the forest behind the small hut. The first section is quite steep and difficult. After passing under the gondola, the path goes up to the left. At the height of the gondola mountain station, take the left path. Then you will get back onto the piste at the height of Buchaualm. After a cozy stop, go down the Alpendorf pistes into the valley.

    Author’s recommendation

    Still got energy at Buchaualm? Then continue to the summit of Gernkogel. The view is a dream!
