Directions
The ski tour starts at the mountain station of the 4-seater chairlift Tauplitz at 1,656 meters above sea level and leads eastwards to the Steirerseehütten. Here there is already the first descent to the Steirersee.

Continue along the Steirersee and up to the Schwarzensee. Follow to the right past the Leistalmhütte in the direction of Kamphütten. After about 500 meters turn left and continue in a northeasterly direction to the summit of the Almkogel. The way back is along the ascent route.
