Hochweberspitze

Open

A long approach, 350 meters of altitude on the first five kilometers and technically as well as conditionally crisp. But at the summit it's clear what you've done it for: this amazing view over the Wölzer Tauern.

If you want to dive deep into the mountain world of the Wölzer Tauern, you have a perfect goal with the Hochweberspitze in Donnersbachwald, but it needs to be worked hard beforehand. The very long approach and the technical difficulties on the summit ridge require stamina, climbing skills and some experience. The last steep step and the summit ridge can be heavily blown off and in this case can only be mastered with crampons. And even if the snow quality should not be the best, this is countered by a mountain and landscape experience that compensates you for all that.

More information

From the Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) turn off at the Trautenfels junction in the direction of Irdning, Donnersbach, Donnersbachwald. Through the village of Donnersbach and another 12 km to Donnersbachwald. Past the Riesneralm and about 3.5 km to Hinterwald to the barrier Riedleralm.

From the barrier you start on a flat forest road in the direction of Riedleralm. You can expect a very flat 2.7 km to the Riedleralm. Now you follow the left forest road and turn right after about 200 meters - so you avoid the wildlife feeding. Afterwards, again on the forest road, you will pass the Beireut Alm. One kilometer after the mountain pasture, keep to the right and stay on the forest road for another 2.3 kilometers. On your right is now an open forest area, over which you climb to a flat ground. Below the Schattenkogel again to the right, you climb in hairpin bends up to the first ground at 1850 meters above sea level. Now, keeping to the right, you bypass the steep step in front of you and track flat towards the south. The second steep step can be bypassed on the right in icy conditions. Steepening you climb up to the ski depot - depending on snow conditions - at about 2280 meters. Do not lay the ascent track too far to the south. There is usually a very large cornice that is not immediately visible. From the ski depot it's now an easy, but exposed climb to the summit. Here crampons may be necessary.

The descent is the same as the ascent.

It pays to get up early!

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!
