On foot, with snowshoes or as a ski tour to the Grabneralm
Some hike on snowshoes, others on skis. Either way, the tour to the Grabneralm fulfills all expectations. We start at Buchau (parking fee applies) and hike through forests and along forest roads. Even along the way, we are captivated by the views, and once we reach the top, all we can say is: Welcome to the balcony overlooking the Gesäuse!
The route is always moderate and safe – a winter snow adventure for the whole family!
