Ski Tour Sulzenhals (Variation Rötelstein)

Open
One of the most scenic ski tours is the ski tour over the Bachlalm to the Sulzenhals. It can be walked all winter and is worthwhile in both powder snow and firn.
This tour at the foot of the Dachstein south walls takes you via the Bachlalm, the Schaidlalm and a light larch forest in the direction of Sulzenhals to the tour destination. There are also variants to the Windlegerscharte, to the Tor or to the Rötelstein (all tours are difficult and extremely demanding). For the way back you will find many varied descents along the ascent route.
