Pöllinger HütteSafety information
CAUTION! In the section from the Waldtratte parking lot to the Pöllinger settlement and Schönfeld settlement to Bergeralm, the piste must be crossed each time.

Because of piste safety, the positions of the hiking trail signposting must also be partially dismantled for the winter season.
Roadbook
Starting from the Kanzelbahn - mountain station, you go around the restaurant Sunn Alm counterclockwise, passing the public toilet and the sledge hill. After the short climb of the sledge hill, you reach the reservoir pond. Here in winter is also the first signposting towards Steinwenderhütte (path no. 31). Follow the path in this direction and after the reservoir pond you reach a small parking lot and shortly afterwards the road to the Waldtratte parking lot.
Following the road uphill, you pass through a tunnel (caution!) and reach the parking lot. Here is the signpost to Bergeralm (path no. 52/176). Follow the signposting along the continuing road and after a few minutes walk cross the piste (caution!). On the opposite side you pass the next signposting, which leads the hiker without gaps through the Pöllinger settlement and Schönfeld settlement to Bergeralm (path no. 176/33).
At the Bergeralm a small detour is still possible. The return route follows the route known from the ascent. The short detour to the Pöllinger Hut is recommended (caution! piste crossing).
