Ski tour on the Rosskogel

The approximately 14 km long, moderately difficult ski tour to the Rosskogel takes about 5½ hours and requires good physical fitness. Starting from the parking area on the Tauplitzalm, the route leads past Lake Steirersee and Lake Schwarzensee up to the summit, offering magnificent views of the Grimming, the "Dachstein massif", and the Totes Gebirge. Under good conditions, steeper descents west of the summit are possible; the return follows the same route as the ascent.

The approximately 14 km long route takes about 5½ hours and is classified as moderately difficult, requiring good physical condition.
The ski tour starts at the Tauplitzalm parking area at the end of the toll Tauplitzalm Alpine Road. Shortly before reaching Lake Steirersee, there is a short descent to the Steirersee huts and the lake itself. The route then continues toward Lake Schwarzensee.
The tour offers breathtaking views of peaks such as the Grimming, the  Dachstein and the mountain range „Totes Gebirge“. There are various options to extend the tour, and under good conditions, the steeper slopes west of the summit can be skied. The descent through larch forests down to Lake Schwarzensee is particularly beautiful, with the return following the same route back to the parking area.
