The roughly 15 km long, challenging ski tour to the Große Tragl takes about 5 hours and offers impressive views. The ascent leads from the Tauplitzalm over the Traglhals to the 2,197-meter summit, with the descent passing through the “Geisterwald” (Ghost Forest) or via the Haberboden.

The ski tour to the Große Tragl is one of the more challenging yet scenically impressive tours on the Tauplitzalm. Covering around 15 km in distance, with approximately 1,200 meters of elevation gain and a hiking time of 4½ to 5½ hours, it requires good fitness, technique, and alpine experience.

The ascent begins on the Tauplitzalm and leads across the wide alpine plateau, past the Steirersee huts and over the Traglhals to the 2,197-meter summit. A magnificent panoramic view rewards those who reach the top. The descent follows through the “Geisterwald” (Ghost Forest) or via the Haberboden back to the Tauplitzalm.

Along the way, there are several cozy places to stop for refreshments, such as the Hollhaus, Linzerhaus, or down in the valley, the Kirchenwirt.

A ten-kilometer toll road leads from Bad Mitterndorf to the Tauplitzalm.

The ski tour starts at the Tauplitzalm parking lot at the end of the toll Tauplitzalm Alpine road.

First past the Hollhaus and across the alpine plateau in an easterly direction. Shortly before the Steirersee there is the first short descent towards the Steirerseehütten.

Passing the huts on the left, you climb uphill along the foothills of the Sturzhahn, always following the winter markings. Under the rock walls you go up to the Traglhals. At the Traglhals keep sharp left and continue to the summit of the Großer Tragl. You will be rewarded for the ascent with a wonderful panoramic view.

The descent follows the ascent route.
