Gasthof Edelbrunn

Ascent: take the ski trail to the top, past Dachsteinhaus and Brandalm and enjoy breathtaking views of the Dachstein Südwand on the way. Leave the ski trail about 300 metres after Brandalm and walk through the overgrown alpine pasture up to the Brandriedel (ridge). From there, via Kraml-Lahn/"Gamsfeldgassl" back to your starting point. Descent: same as ascent or via the Kraml-Lahn (note: steep, backcountry terrain, snow conditions and danger of avalanches!) back to Gasthof Edelbrunn.

Variant: take the ski trail up to Türlwandhütte/Dachstein Gondola Bottom Station and onwards to Lehnachriedel.

Carefully read the avalanche report at www.lawine-steiermark.at.

All information has been collected with the utmost care. The use of this information is exclusively at your own risk! We take no responsibility and assume no liability for accidents or damages of any kind.

To go on a tour without proper preparation and equipment is reckless. Not only your own life is easily risked, but also that of your fellow mountaineers in the same region.

Must-haves: avalanche transceiver, mobile phone, shovel, avalanche probe, first aid kit, sufficient food and drinks, possibly additional clothing to change.

On the day of the tour: Read the avalanche situation report and weather forecast and check what effects it will have on your planned ski tour: possibly adjust or cancel the ski tour. Are all participants fit and healthy enough to go on the tour? If not, change or cancel the ski tour.
