Ski tour Kreuzmauer in the Gesäuse

We first head north on a forest road and after about 500 metres, at a signpost for Kreuzmauer, we turn right into the Volkernotgraben. We now climb uphill in hairpin bends to reach another forest road. Here we pass through two tunnels to the end of the road where the trench splits.
From here, we turn left and climb the ditch, which is overgrown with bushes, before making a wide arc to the north-west to reach the wide, beautiful Südkar. Below the Kreuzmauer, we turn right and climb up a ridge to the rocky summit (ski depot!). Note: Please only ascend to the summit on skis in very good conditions. It should also be noted that the steep descent from the summit is only suitable for experienced ski tourers. The descent follows the ascent route.

The tour is undertaken at your own risk! No liability is accepted for any alpine hazards that may exist or occur (avalanches, weather, etc.). Important note: Before every ski tour or snowshoe hike, it is essential to check the current avalanche report, which can be found at www.lawine-steiermark.at.
Mountain sports and assessing the situation on site are primarily your own responsibility, especially in winter. Tourism associations and avalanche warning services therefore cannot accept any liability for the information provided.
