Sonntagskogel, also an enjoyable tour from Monday to Saturday!

Open

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.

More information

From the north

On the A9, the Pyhrnautobahn, take the Trieben exit. From there take the B 114 in the direction of Judenburg to Hohentauern. After 6 km turn left into the Triebental valley. Follow the road to the Seyfried parking lot, about 2 km behind the former GH Braun.

From the south

Via the S36, the Murtalschnellstraße to Judenburg, continue on the B 317 to the junction with the B114 towards Liezen. Follow the road to Hohentauern (approx. 35 km). Drive 3 km in the direction of Trieben. Turn right into the Triebental valley. Follow the road to the Seyfried parking lot, just 2 km behind the former Braun inn.

The tour starts at parking lot 3 - Seyfried, just 2 km behind the former Braun inn in Triebental.

We follow the large meadow in a SW direction to the edge of the forest, where we meet the forest road. Now we follow the forest road (marked S5) to the Steiner Alm (Triebener Hütte, 1,646m).

Behind the hut, the route leads us across the slopes in a south-westerly direction towards Triebener Törl. Triebener Törl is the saddle between Griesstein and Sonntagskogel. Once at the Törl, we first follow the ridge/ridge to the Sonntagskogel. We make a good track in the flank that leads to the summit of the Sonntagskogel. The last, very steep section to the summit can be tackled without skis.

The descent follows the ascent track.

After the tour, stop off at Bergerhube or GH Brotjäger (pre-order your meal!).

This tour is NOT considered "accessible by train and bus" because there is no regular connection.
