A varied ski tour summit rises between Grießstein and Geierkogel. Accessible from the Triebental valley via the Steiner Alm and the Triebener Törl.

As with all ski tours in the Triebener Tauern, the first ascent is via a forest road. Once past the forest belt, an impressive landscape opens up. The rugged Grießstein, the foothills of the Sonntagskogel and the Triebenkogel rise above the gentle alpine pastures. The Steiner Alm (Triebener Hütte, 1,446m) is one of the most beautiful places in the Triebental and invites you to take a break.

The ascent track is harmoniously laid into the slopes to the Triebener Törl, 2,009m. The saddle is reached with just a few hairpin bends. The view is overwhelming. An overview of the peaks of the Trieben Valley, strung together like a string of pearls!

Now we climb up the wide slopes to the summit. The last few meters to the highest point are steep. Either we don't make it to the summit or we tackle this section without skis.

The descent is via the wide slopes in the area of the ascent track.
