Arriving from the north:From the south-east take the Pyhrnautobahn motorway (A 9) to the Liezen junction and then the Ennstal A-road (B 320) into the Schladming-Dachstein region. Then take the Ramsau am Dachstein turn-off.

From Ramsau Beach, follow the road to Tischelberger and Greimelbacherhof, where a beautiful forest path will lead you across beautiful meadows to Halseralm. 

Continue uphill, through the forest to Sonnenalm. For the next 20 min, you will hike along a narrow path which will join a wider forest path. This will take you on a slight descent to Ochesnalm.
