Ski tour to the Hochwart
Open
A really good, but also demanding ski tour tip in the Donnersbachwald mountains.
At the beginning of the tour, a good forest road is the order of the day. But then you are well warmed up when it continues over steep steps in impressive alpine surroundings towards the summit. At the top, you can collect your reward, because a fantastic panoramic view opens up from here.

From the Riedleralm barrier, follow the forest road to the Ebenbachalm. Always keep to the right of the Ebenbach stream. Shortly after the hunting lodge you climb uphill through sparse forest to the dilapidated Zettlerhütte. This is followed by a flat area before the next ascent to an alpine pasture awaits you. Over stepped terrain it goes medium steep, before the degree steep, towards the summit.
The subsequent descent is via the ascent route, or you cross the Ebenbach shortly before the hunting lodge and descend on the left side of the stream. Either way a pleasure.
When descending, cross the Ebenbach shortly before the hunting lodge and descend on the left side of the stream. This way you always have the sun on your side.
Unfortunately, there is no public transport to the starting point of the ski tour.
Approx. 10 parking spaces next to the road just before the timber yard. Larger groups please park at the Riesneralm parking lot and drive to the starting point with as few cars as possible. Do not park at the timber yard!
