    The tour starts at the mountain station on the Rax, from where it goes to the Praterstern and then past the Ottohaus to the Jakobskogel at 1736m and along the blue markings on the edge of the plateau with great views to the Preinerwandkreuz at 1783m and down to the Seehütte at 1643m. After a stop at the hut, which is also open in winter on good days, up to the mountain rescue hut, also called Raxgmoahütte, at 1858m, from where there is a great view to the west with great winter conditions in good weather. Down practically the same way to the Seehütte and on the Seeweg towards Jakobskogel partly through forest with great views of the ridge with Scheibwaldhöhe. Around the Jakobskogel with a visible cross and back to the cable car at the Ottohaus.
