This easy 5 km winter hike (about 1 hour 20 minutes) starts at the parking area of the Loser Ski Arena and is also suitable for children.
The trail leads through a beautiful winter landscape, past alpine huts and across Klauseck to the Blaa Alm, where the inn invites you to stop for a break.
You can return via the Blaa Road or follow the same route back.

The hike starts at the parking area of the Loser Ski Arena, where signs lead you into a beautiful winter landscape. With a distance of about 5 km and a walking time of around 1 hour 20 minutes, this easy trail is also suitable for children.

After a flat section — where the famous daffodils bloom in spring — the path passes rustic alpine huts, followed by a gentle ascent through the forest to the open area known as “Klauseck.” The trail runs alongside the cross-country ski track, and at the destination, the Wirtshaus auf der Blaa Alm invites you to enjoy a coffee and a slice of cream cake.

For the return, you can either follow the Blaa Road or take the same route back over Klauseck.

More information

The best way to get to Altaussee is to plan with google.at/maps.
There are sufficient parking spaces available at the Loser Skiarena. From there, the hiking trail towards Blaa Alm starts directly.

From the parking lot P3 in the Loser Skiarena, turn right past the Haim ski school and then immediately right again, following the signs "Wanderweg", next to the cross-country ski trail. Enjoy the wintry landscape between the Sandling, where salt is still mined today, and Altaussee's local mountain Loser, this is how this small but beautiful walk through the snow begins.

After a flat section, where the famous daffodils bloom in spring, the path leads past the rustic alpine huts. Now a small climb through a forest section is ahead and then the open area the so-called "Klauseck" is reached.

The biggest part is already done and the alpine pasture area of the Blaa is not far away.

In addition to the walkers, many cross-country skiers can be observed on the trail around the Blaa Alm. After circling the Blaa meadow, the inn on the Blaa Alm is reached. A cozy stop with coffee or cocoa and cream cake we have earned in any case.

The way back to the Loser Skiarena can be done via the Blaastraße, or the same way via the Klauseck.
