Your Friday evening rendezvous with the Riesneralm.

The popular ‘Familienschuss’ and ‘Krispenleit'n’ pistes belong to skiers during the day, but will light the way up to the Riesneralm and safely back down into the valley for you as a ski tourer on Friday evenings. And because it always tastes best after the ascent, the Hochsitz is open for you on these special Friday evenings until 21:00.

Headlamp required
Rental possibility until 5.00 pm at Sport Scherz, directly at the Riesneralm valley station. www.sport-scherz.at

Refreshment stop at the mountain station at the Hochsitz.

Unfortunately, there is no public transport in the evening.

All pistes on the Riesneralm are closed to ski tourers day and night except on ski touring evenings!
Ascent and descent on Friday evening from 5.00 pm only via the ‘Familienschuss’ and ‘Krispenleit'n’ pistes.
Use of the pistes outside opening hours is life-threatening and strictly prohibited.
Use at your own risk - no liability is accepted for any alpine dangers such as avalanches, weather etc. that may occur.
In winter, caution is also required on supposedly easy tours. The ground can be slightly icy in shady places and there may be a risk of avalanches on slopes. Mountain sports are therefore - all the more so in winter - primarily a matter of personal responsibility. Before every ski tour or snowshoe hike, it is essential to check the current avalanche report - available at www.lawine.at
