More information

On the Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) in Trautenfels turn off in the direction of Ausseerland. Continue on the Salzkammergutstraße (B145) to the Wörschachwald exit and continue along the road to the Spechtensee.
Free parking at the Spechtenseehütte

From the Spechtenseehütte you take the summer path up to the Stoiringalm. Then you stomp along a forest road eastwards to the Bärenfeichtenalm. A forest road will take you back down to the starting point.

Before every snowshoe hike you should always check the current avalanche report - available at www.lawine-steiermark.at. Mountain sports and the assessment of the situation on site are - in winter all the more so - above all subject to personal responsibility. Tourism associations or avalanche warning services do not assume any liability based on information provided.

Do not go on snowshoe hikes alone. Together it is more fun anyway.
Always be aware of risks and react to danger signs.
Observe existing regulations such as hunting and game reserves, reforestation or young growth areas
You should always have your cell phone well charged. Have you also saved the emergency number 140 of the mountain rescue service? If you have no reception, take out the SIM card and dial 112.

Always important: snowshoes, winter mountain boots or sturdy mountain boots as well as telescopic poles with snow plates
In addition to food and warm drinks, pack spare clothing and a first aid kit in your backpack
Choose your clothing according to the onion layer system
An avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel are, as in ski touring, required in alpine terrain
Use a backpack to which you can attach your snowshoes
You should also pack maps and/or tour descriptions. GPX tracks on your cell phone or GPS device will also help you
