Dreamlike panoramic winter route in a great hiking area. The highlight, besides the idyllic Labenbergalm, is definitely the view of Dachstein and Gosaukamm! Added to this is the fantastic summit area, which lies in the sun even on foggy days.
From the parking lot, it's just a few meters on the forest road to the first left turn. Here we follow the path along the forest edge, which is clearly visible even in winter. Passing under a drag lift and by the Huber hut, the route is very idyllic – along the forest edge, short sections through the woods, across small clearings, and finally, after about 40 - 45 minutes, onto a large alpine meadow. Here the path forks; we follow the signs towards Labenbergalm. After a few minutes, we reach the idyllic alpine pasture, consisting of many small huts. First, we turn our backs to the huts and continue hiking towards the summit. Approaching from the north, we head to the east side of the summit, but the actual steep ascent to the summit is on the south side with a view of the Dachstein and Gosaukamm. After a total of one hour and 15 minutes, the summit is reached.
On the way back, we enjoyed a cozy break at the Labenbergalm and returned to the parking lot via the ascent path. From here, we took a short detour for a few minutes to the Postalm chapel.
